It was not his lucky day
Bm
He woke up in the mornin'
A Bm
He found the note she'd left
A
'said im leavin' with the dog
Bm A Bm
An' we're headed way out west

And then he heard a knockin'
A Bm
It was the landlord at the door

'said "you're three months overdue kid,
Bm A Bm
So you dont live here no more"
Bm A Bm
It was not his lucky day
Bm A Bm

He went down to the fact'ry

The foreman said "you're late"
A
He called down for security to
Bm A Bm
Escort him to the gate
Bm
'said dont bother comin' back kid

Don't expect no severence pay
A
He lost his girl, lost his dog, lost his home, lost his job

He pulled his delta 88
A Bm
Up to the fillup 66

Pulled out his rouger 44
Bm A Bm
An' he walked in the front door

Said "give me all your money sir,

Bm
He cussed and he kicked the floor
A Bm
And then he walked back out that door
A
It sounded just like thunder
Bm A Bm
Seven shotguns' deadly roar
Bm
His body danced and twisted
A Bm
Just like a puppet on a string
A
He came to rest in a bloody mess
Bm A Bm
Up against the coke machine
Bm A Bm
It was not his lucky day
Bm A Bm
It was not his lucky day
Bm A Bm
It was not his lucky day
