about

I love the line about being shaken upside down.

lyrics

Broke down on 80, cursing like a flare
luck was a lady with fake tits and platinum hair
the rain was coming down, sheets of broken glass
banging on the overpass

Live long enough... something happens

Started off so easy, came up like a rose
Luck is another word for how the story goes
I took what I could carry
now I'm wishing it would snow

Live long enough... something happens

Moses climbed the mountain
but still he paid the price
Forty years of wandering
on the wrong side of paradise
the wrong side of paradise

Caught a ride to Vegas, got a room for two
Luck's gonna shake us upside down
until we're through with all the wishing
through with all that weight
freer than the Interstate

Live long enough... something happens
