tom brosseau - hard luck boy lyrics
[spoken]
they call me the ‘hard luck boy’
people wonder why i’m a hard luck boy
and it’s all because of my funny smile, really
i earned this smile, a slanted smile
some people call it the lyle lovett smile
they want to know what a hard luck boy is
and i tell em
it all happened a very long time ago when i was just a boy
my mother took me on what she called a little shopping trip
four or five states away to a city she’d never been to before
whеn we finally pulled into the dеpartment store parking lot
we were the first ones there
“this is what you gotta do if you want to get the deals
you’ve got to get here early.”
we walked in and she knew right away what she was after
it was a circular garment rack full of all sorts of dresses
a big old clearance sign above it
“you know how at home you always like to play fort?
well son, come on over here, go ahead and crawl inside this garment rack and you can have all the fort you can handle.”
and with that i watched her walk away
but before too long all sorts of ladies started coming up and pecking away at the dresses
and all i could see was legs legs legs
brown ones
white and smooth ones
legs in wheelchairs legs with canes
anklets and tattoos
til the dresses were gone and all that was left was me
sitting in the middle of an empty metal circular garment rack
by then it was closing time
and some of the lights had shut down
there were no more customers
and a pretty young lady walked by
startled when she saw me she said, “oh my, what have we here?
young boy, what is your name?”
tommy
“well tommy, where is your mommy?”
well like i said that’s how it all happened
all those years ago when i was just a boy
and to this day i have never seen my mother
i’m a hard luck boy
got a hard luck mind
i keep my days with the hard luck kind
a hard luck boy
mmmm
mmmm
mmmm mmm
