Laurie Lewis - Hard Luck in Heaven Lyrics

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 that 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 o'er the City of Light

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

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

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