I must've had a million damn unlucky days

But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away

I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place

But when the roof comes in i don't wanna take it straight



They say with faith any soul can make it

But hell, why should i wait

'til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade



I've had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks

But the everyday blues is the one thing i can fix

I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name

But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering



Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue

But hell, why should i wait

'til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade

When every heavy sky just empties on your fate

Sometimes keeping dry's something to celebrate



So if the road of sin is the one i'm taking

I ain't gonna stray

'til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
