I must�ve had a million damn unlucky days
but there ain�t no cloud that a bottle can�t chase away
i�ve done my deal of living, ran from place to place
but when the roof comes in i don�t 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 sucker�s parade
I�ve had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks
but the everyday blues is the one thing i can fix
i�ve heard those holy brethren muttering my name
but it ain�t no sin to drink when you�re suffering
Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue
but hell, why should i wait
�til the clouds go rain on some other sucker�s parade
when every heavy sky just empties on your fate
sometimes keeping dry�s something to celebrate
So if the road of sin is the one i�m taking
i ain�t gonna stray
'til the clouds go rain on some other sucker�s parade
