Some Other Sucker's Parade Lyrics

I must've had a million damn unlucky days 
But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away 
I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place 
But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight 

They say with faith any soul can make it 
But hell, why should I wait 
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade 

I've had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks 
But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix 
I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name 
But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering 

Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue 
But hell, why should I wait 
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade 
When every heavy sky just empties on your fate 
Sometimes keeping dry's something to celebrate 

So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking 
I ain't gonna stray 
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
