Lyrics
When luck goes south
You're taking it upon your chin
When luck goes south
You'll bet against yourself to win
When luck goes south
You're rolling with a load of doubt
And you just can't break out
When luck goes south
When luck goes south
you don't want to read your mail
When luck goes south
The blues are close and on your tail
When luck goes south
Your friends can't even help you out
They'll say I'm sorry pal
But my luck's gone south
Bridge)
And try as you may
But you just can't find a way
To see silver in your own cloud
And as things take their course
You find your only horse
Is named lady luck
And she's on some truck
And heading south
When luck goes south
You don't want the phone to ring
When luck goes south
You're holding jacks and facing kings
When luck goes south
Your demons rise and dance about
And they just prance and flout
"Cus your luck's gone south
When luck goes south
When luck goes south
Guess my luck's gone south
