Hard Luck Stories lyrics

They say running into you is like running into trouble
Bend my ear and I see double
You`re everybody`s idea of a waste of time
You still come around `cause I used to listen
I run a steamship, I don`t run a mission
Don`t be mistaken in thinking you`re a friend of mine

(Chorus)
Those hard luck stories, it`s all I ever get from you
Hard luck stories, you`re gonna drive me out of my mind
Those hard luck stories, it`s all I ever get from you
Hard luck stories, you`re gonna drive me out of my mind

Well, cops won`t give you change of a penny
Everybody`s got money but you haven`t any
If I cared about you I`d say it was a crying shame
Your wife ran away, left you on a Sunday
She cried when she left, she was laughing on Monday
She should have known better and never gone and changed the name

(Chorus)

Why don`t you grow up, why don`t you settle down?
Why don`t you get a job, why don`t you leave town?
Even a chicken has to do what it has to do
You don`t like one thing, you don`t like another
You don`t like anything that looks like bother
Everyone don`t like something and we all don`t like you

(Chorus
