Hard Luck/Child's Claim to Fame/Pickin' Up the Pieces
"Hard Luck" written: T.B. Schmit

Hard Luck

Here it comes, another heartache
Bringing me pain and misery
It's peekin' 'round the bend sayin'
"Hey my friend, sit down, and keep me company."
Always seems to me that
I make the biggest fool and tragedy.
Tellin' you this time I'm gonna stay in line,
No one's a-gonna bother me.
Think about the times, if you can, and I'll let you
Remember the rhymes that we talked when we were new.
I can recall the days when I'd wake up
To find you beside me,
But you could have stayed
'Stead of takin' off that way.

Here it comes, another heartache
Bringing me pain and misery
It's peekin' 'round the bend sayin'
"Hey my friend, sit down, and keep me company."
Always seems to me that
I make the biggest fool and tragedy.
Tellin' you this time I'm gonna stay in line,
No one's a-gonna bother me.

And I can't ever change it
Hard luck is my last name.
If I try to rearrange it,
I wished I could, it ain't no good
Why do things always turn out just the same?

 

Child’s Claim To Fame

Well there goes another day
Now I wonder why
You and I
Keep telling lies
I can't believe that what you say
'cause tomorrows lullaby
Can't pacify
My lonesome crying

Well make believe is all you know
And to make believe is a game
A child's rein
You've changed your name
So sadly I watched the show
Seen what you became
Truth is the shame
Yeah, too much pain

 

Pickin’ Up The Pieces

Well there's just a little bit of magic
In the country, music we're singin'
So let's begin
We're bringin' you back down home where the folks are happy
Sittin' pickin' and a-grinnin'
Casually, you and me
We'll Pick Up The Pieces, uh-huh

Somebody yelled out at me (Hey!)
Country music and company kind of makes it
On a Sunday afternoon
Picnic lunches of yesterday
Should still have a place in your heart today
Think it over
'Cause we'll all be goin' home so soon

Well there's just a little bit of magic
In the country, music we're singin'
So let's begin
We're bringin' you back down home where the folks are happy
Sittin' pickin' and a-grinnin'
Casually, you and me
We'll Pick Up The Pieces, uh-huh

If you had the time to stay (uh huh)
Would you sit yourself down and play country music
Singin' songs that we both knew
Lord I know that the day will come
When the both of us will sit down and strum
On our guitars
And you'll see I really am a lot like you

Well there's just a little bit of magic
In the country, music we're singin'
So let's begin
We're bringin' you back down home where the folks are happy
Sittin' pickin' and a-grinnin'
Casually, you and me
We'll Pick Up The Pieces, uh-huh

Well there's just a little bit of magic
In the country, music we're singin'
So let's begin
We're bringin' you back down home where the folks are happy
Sittin' pickin' and a-grinnin'
Casually, you and me
We'll Pick Up The Pieces, uh-huh
