[Verse]
Well, I started out early with a tank full of dreams,
But the road had a plan to unravel my schemes.
Hit a patch of that mud, slicker than grease,
Now I'm sittin' here stuck, beggin' for release.
[Chorus]
I'm 500 miles from where I need to be,
And luck ain't a friend to a guy like me.
With a blown-out tire and a broken-down truck,
I’m singin’ my song, "I’m just outta luck."
[Verse]
Tried to push her on out, but the mud grabbed tight,
Like a dog on a bone, it just wouldn’t fight.
My boots got sucked in, now I’m barefoot too,
Couldn’t make this up, even if I wanted to.
[Chorus]
I'm 500 miles from where I need to be,
And luck ain't a friend to a guy like me.
With a blown-out tire and a broken-down truck,
I’m singin’ my song, "I’m just outta luck."
[Bridge]
The sun’s settin’ low, and I’m losin’ my mind,
Called for a tow, but they're takin’ their time.
A raccoon just laughed as he passed me by,
Even the critters know I'm a sorry guy.
[Verse]
Finally got her movin’, but the tire gave out,
Now I’m rollin’ on rims, and there ain’t no doubt.
If bad luck’s a gift, well, I’m surely blessed,
But I’d trade it all in for a minute’s rest.
