Lyr. Add: HARD LUCK IN HEAVEN
Scott Huffman

While on this old earth, Lord, I've suffered, I've cried
Things don't work out, Lord, as hard as I've tried
I'll have up in glory a crown for my prize
But knowin' my luck, Lord, it'll be the wrong size.

Hard Luck in Heaven, please say it ain't so
'Cause down here on earth, Lord, it's all I know
When I'm in my mansion will the roof leak there too
Hard luck in Heaven, please say it ain't true.

I've always been hard luck, it's always been true
So I'm not expecting any different from you
When I get my wings, Lord, they won't fit me right
I'll be flappin' in circles over the city of light.

Now Lord, please forgive me for thinkin' this way
But hard times just haunt me each night and each day
When the angels start singing and they hand out the harps
Knowing my luck, Lord, mine'll be tuned too sharp.

Amusing song. Sung by Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands.
