I know it’s early
I just hope it’s not too late
I said I know it’s early
I just hope it’s not too late

When bad luck looks good
You know I been down too many days

Alarm bell’s ringin
It’s a quarter to eight
I roll right over
I’m sleepin in late

Telephone ringin’
Must been about nine
It’s the bill collector
Cause I can’t pay on time

Somebody’s knockin
On my front door
I said come in, sit down
But it’ll have to be on the floor

They took my sofa, my tables, and even my chair
It’s getting to the point
Where I just don’t care

CH:
I know it’s early
I just hope it’s not too late
When bad luck looks good
You know I been down too many days

I hear sirens outside
They’re lookin’ for me
My neighbors been talkin’
‘Bout my street activity

I had to get me gun
To hold ‘em all at bay
But they jus' keep comin’
No matter what I say

They’re takin’ me to jail
But it’s lookin’ pretty fair
I’ll have a place to sleep
And I know I’ll have three squares

CH:
I know it’s early
I just hope it’s not too late
When bad luck looks good
You know I been down too many days

The days of holdin’ on
With a stiff upper lip
Are all over now
Along with the Jones and Smiths

Hell, the rich and the famous
Are in here with me
We got a new address
It’s called 850

Hell we’re all
In the same boat
Hanging on hard or
Lookin’ for a rope

CH:
I know it’s early
I just hope it’s not too late
When bad luck looks good
You know I been down too many days

When bad luck looks good
You know I been down to many days

When bad luck looks good
You know I been down to many days
