I mustve had a million damn unlucky days
But there aint no cloud that a bottle cant chase away
Ive done my deal of living, ran from place to place
But when the roof comes in I dont 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 suckers parade

Ive had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks
But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix
Ive heard those holy brethren muttering my name
But it aint no sin to drink when youre suffering

Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue
But hell, why should I wait
til the clouds go rain on some other suckers parade
When every heavy sky just empties on your fate
Sometimes keeping drys something to celebrate

So if the road of sin is the one Im taking
I aint gonna stray
til the clouds go rain on some other suckers parade
