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

I've had my share of heartaches, let-downs and tricks

But the everyday blues is the one thing I can't 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

When every heavy skyline just empties on your faith

Sometimes keeping dry's just something to celebrate

So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking

I ain't gonna stray
