Lucky Mud: Music

LuAnne

(Lucky Mud)

Just a song about a guy that we've all seen
The kind you like to put distance between
He's got an old leather jacket that's a little too small
That he bought years ago at St. Vincent DePaul
He has a look that's somewhere between bad dope and booze
And a blue, ballpoint pen tattoo that just says 'Born to Lose'
And he'll tell you right now he was a man with a plan
But it all fell apart when he met LuAnne
Oh, what a surprise
To see you again
In a place that you swore
That you'd never be in
With a bottle of whiskey
And a man by your side
And that look on your face
That you never could hide

But, don't worry now, baby
I'm going away
You win again
At least for today
'Cause you were the best hand
That I ever played
And I'll never forget you,
LuAnne

Got a bone in my pocket
Got an ace up my sleeve
Got a bad attitude
When I'm ready to leave
So it's adios, baby,
And a sweet fare-thee-well
And I promise that someday
I'll see you in hell

But don't worry now, baby
I'll be on my way
You win again
At least for today
'Cause you were the best hand
That I ever played
And I'll never forget you
LuAnne

The last thing I wanted
Was to run into you
I'm not looking for trouble
I was just passing through
Got a one-way ticket
To the wide-open West
And a .38 pistol
Strapped to my chest

But don't worry now, baby
I'll be on my way
You win again
At least for today
But the next time we meet
There'll be hell to pay
'Cause I'll never forgive you
LuAnne
No, I'll never forgive you
