Bad Luck Bandit

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Sweat on my neck

Sun hitting down like a hammer

Stumbling through the heat

Moving through the sagebrush

My prisoner wears a smile

While I drag the heavy iron chain

I hunt

I catch

I carry

Pre-Chorus

He tells a joke

He sings a song

Walking to the gallows

Nothing seems wrong

Chorus

Bad luck bandit

You aren't what they said

Bad luck bandit

Keep on laughing till you're dead

Bad luck bandit

Best friend I never had

Bad luck bandit

Verse 2

The law took the bribe

Sheriff locked the rusty iron gate

Gallows built in the square

No more time for us to wait

I grab the keys

I blow the door

I see the truth

Pre-Chorus

The rope was thin

The horse was fast

We left the town behind us

Making freedom last

Chorus

Bad luck bandit

You aren't what they said

Bad luck bandit

Keep on laughing till you're dead

Bad luck bandit

Best friend I never had

Bad luck bandit

Bridge

Side by side

West we ride

Desert wind blowing cold

Secrets told

Secrets sold

Hearts of gold

Chorus

Bad luck bandit

You aren't what they said

Bad luck bandit

Keep on laughing till you're dead

Bad luck bandit

Best friend I never had

Bad luck bandit

Post-Chorus

Hey hey hey

Ha ha ha

Hey hey hey

Ha ha ha
