Lyrics
Hard Luck Tale
Saw her downtown today, no light in her eyes nothing to say
She hasn't been the same since he went away
He was this town's sweetheart, every girl's dream he let her catch him when they were 17
Now it hurts he left so easy, 30 years he threw away, when he left he took her dreams
She loved him so long she lost the girl inside, loved him so hard, she lost her heart
Now she's driftin through the days, crawlin through the nights, the nights are so long
It's just another hard luck tale, somebody went away,
ain't no headline story, it happens everyday, just another hard luck tale
Look in the mirror and no one is there nothing makes no sense cause baby you don't care
I can't remember the times before I lay by your side, I'm alone now at night,
Refrain:...Just another hard luck tale...
