歌词
[Intro]
[Instrumental]
(reverb country guitar, harmonica)
(Verse 1)
Well, Gary had a way with cards, he'd shuffle and he'd deal,
But Lady Luck, she had a plan, she kept it all concealed.
He'd roll those dice out on the floor, thinking he'd hit his peak,
But every roll just seemed to show, Gary's losing streak.
(Chorus)
Oh, Gary's losing streak, it's a sight to see,
From the poker table to the racetrack, he just can't break free.
His horse stumbled out the gate, his hand's a royal tweak,
Oh, the world's against him now, on Gary's losing streak.
(Verse 2)
He tried his hand at love, thought he'd found his queen,
But she took off with his best friend, left him with the scene.
Then his truck broke down, on a dusty desert road,
Seems like everywhere he turned, his luck just overflowed.
(Chorus)
Oh, Gary's losing streak, it's a legend in this town,
From the juke joint to the honky-tonk, they all gather round.
He's the talk of every bar, his luck's at its peak,
Oh, there's no escaping now, from Gary's losing streak.
[Bridge]
He pawned his guitar, his boots, his hat,
But luck, it just ain't something you can buy like that.
He's a living, breathing country song, a tale of woe and gloom,
But through it all, he's still got that outlaw country croon.
(Verse 3)
Now Gary sits alone, with a bottle and a grin,
He'll toast to all his troubles, let the whiskey do him in.
For he knows that in this life, some folks are born to lose,
But he'll keep on rolling, with that outlaw country blues.
[Outro]
(Chorus)
Oh, Gary's losing streak, it's his claim to fame,
From the dive bar to the rodeo, they'll chant his name.
He's the king of hard luck tales, the patron saint of bleak,
Oh, there's no stopping now, Gary's losing streak.
No, there's no stopping now, Gary's losing streak.
There's no stopping now,
Gary's losing streak.
[Instrumental Outro]
