lyrics

Well, the barmaid is a cleanin'
and the clock says half past 2
and a sad song came on the jukebox
that kind of reminded me of you
As I sat there and wondered,
staring up at the neon sky,
Can't help to think what could have been
And what a poor drunken fool am I

Chorus:
Whiskey dreams and a hard luck chaser
is what's in store for me
100 proof bad, bad luck
is how it's gonna be
I need to mend my hound dog ways
but that means i have to try,
Whiskey dreams and a hard luck chaser
and a double rock and rye.

Verse 2:
Well the boss called me in this morning
talked about tightening his belt
but that fat ass wears suspenders
and he let me go anyhow
And the wife decided to let me know
she's in love with the Avon lady
and if that ain't enough my 12 year old
ran off to a commune in Berkeley

Chorus (same as first chorus)

Verse 3:
Well the trailer done exploded
the fireball for miles you could see
I guess using it for a meth lab
was not the brightest idea from me
I lost all my vintage Hustlers,
that ain't damned enough,
the police called the fires suspicious
right about then's when they put on the cuffs

Chorus 3:
Whiskey dreams and a hard luck chaser,
they'll be no more for me
cause it looks like I'm headed for a nickel
in the penitentiary

Hell three squares a day and roof over my head,
you know, what the f*ck
whiskey dreams and a hard luck chaser
a country version of good luck.
