Nothing deep with this one. The upright bass is a beast to learn. By far the hardest thing I have ever tried to play. There is also has an electric piano that I can barely play.Two instruments out of four in this song that I cant play. Mmm.



Thought I won the lottery
Going to turn my life around
Went to cash my ticket
I read the numbers upside down.

Watch my dreams go up in smoke
Hardluck is my middle name
But you can call me Johnny Broke

Once I had a dollar
Now its worth a dime
Sold my dime for a nickle
Lost my nickle now its not mine

Watch my dreams go up in smoke
Hardluck is my middle name
But you can call me Johnny Broke

Early in the morning
Overtime everyday
When I cash my check
Mr Taxman take it away

Watch my dreams go up in smoke
Hardluck is my middle name
But you can call me Johnny Broke

I was dealt two tens
I thought I had it made
The dealer hit a six with three fives
And took my money away

Try to keep your chin up
Keep your two feet on the ground
Every time I take a step
Everything comes tumbling down

Can't afford to feed my dog
And all he does is beg
I woke up this morning
And he started eating my leg

Watch my dreams go up in smoke
Hardluck is my middle name
But you can call me Johnny Broke
