Hard Luck Runner Lyrics

Like a murder in a one horse town
I can tell you word gets around
I hear you've been lookin' for me
Searchin five years runnin' for me
Got to prove you're something to me

Once your brother came ahead of you
Heard a rumor, wondered was it true
Said he had my number, like you
Driven by that hunger to prove
Just a hard luck runner, like you

I'll play this out for just so long
Say your prayers or move on
If you've got the sense to run
Hard luck runner run on

By the twilight, or the desert sun
In the midnight, someone always comes
Someone with my number, like you
Driven by that hunger to prove
Another hard luck runner, like you
