Lyrics - Hard Luck Story by Whiskeytown

Well,
I was thinking that
I shoulda,
But
I didn’t ever leave you,
But baby,
I’m leavin tonight
And there’s a trucker drinking coffee in the station who can give me a ride.
Well,
I was thinking about a heading to mobile, alabama
And that was just last saturday night.
I can leave you if
I wanna, little baby and
I’m gonna tonight.
Cause
I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
There’s a bad moon rising behind
And
I swore it to your daddy that
I loved you, but
I changed my mind.
Well,
I’m a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And
I’m a sinner and
I know how to fight
Well,
I can leave you if
I wanna, little baby and
I’m gonna tonight.
Cause
I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
There’s a bad moon rising behind
And
I swore it to your daddy that
I loved you, but
I changed my mind.
Well,
I’m a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And
I’m a sinner and
I know how to fight
Cause
I can leave you if
I wanna, little baby and
I’m gonna tonight.
Well
I was sitting,
I was drinking on a barstool
Thinking how true love becomes a lie
And
I never should have left you
But
I had to, and
I betcha there’s a man there with you tonight.
And
I swore it to your daddy that
I missed you, but
I didn’t
If
I came back it wouldn’t be right.
Cause
I can leave you if
I wanna, little baby and
I’m gonna tonight.
