Growin' up at my own pace

Another lonesome Southern state

Daddy's drunk and Mom's awake, waitin' by the door

I'm doin' good, I'm gettin' by

Glad you asked and that's a lie

It gets so hot in late July, can't take it anymore

Benny's doin' drugs and the rent got higher

Everybody's dyin' and the sky is on fire

Who messed it up? Who the hell's holdin' the cards?

Losin' my faith is nothin' sacred

I ain't bein' bitter, baby, I'm just sayin'

You could blame me or blame it on the luck of the draw

I'll blame it on the luck of the draw (Mm, mm)

My heart is blue, my boots are red

Dancin' in a dead woman's dress

Just how much do you expect for me to tip the band?

When Benny's doin' drugs and the rent got higher

Everybody's dyin' and the sky is on fire

Who messed it up? Who the hell's holdin' the cards?

Losin' my faith is nothin' sacred

I ain't bein' bitter, baby, I'm just sayin'

You could blame me or blame it on the luck of the draw

I'll blame it on the luck of the draw (Mm, mm)

Blame it on the luck of the draw (Mm, mm)

Life's a gamble anyway

A memory forms, an old one fades

I can't remember anything, anything at all

'Cause Benny's doin' drugs and the rent got higher

Everybody's dyin' and the sky is on fire

Who messed it up? Who the hell's holdin' the cards?

Losin' my faith isn't anything sacred

I ain't bein' bitter, baby, I'm just sayin'

You could blame me or blame it on the luck of the draw

I'll blame it on the luck of the draw (Mm, mm)

Blame it on the luck of the draw (Mm, mm)

Blame it, blame it on the luck of the draw (Mm, mm)

The luck of the draw (Mm, mm)
