Jokers turn to Kings and diamonds to dust
I tried to beat the house but every hand was a bust
Another day ends, another begins
Another night sleeping on needles and pins

I keep rolling where the bad wind blows
I keep running, but the trouble follows
Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up
This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck

Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck

My rusty old rings are coming undone
Fraying on the seams every mile that I run
Another bad move, another dead stop
Another wrong turn on the way to the top

I keep rolling where the bad wind blows
I keep running, but the trouble follows
Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up
This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck

Bad luck
Bad luck

I've been playing to lose and dying to win
A compassionate heart without a dollar to mend
Deep in the red between the white lines
It's a long road ahead and a long one behind

I keep rolling where the bad wind blows
I keep running, but the sorrow follows
Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up
This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck

Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
