[Verse 1]
Well I woke up drunk in a cell
Somewhere  in the Dade County Jail
And  I don't know where I went wrong
If it weren't for bad times, I wouldn't have no time at all

[Verse 2]
So I call and [hold/hope?] once again
[Put?]  my heart on the other end
Oh,  but darlin', she's far from that phone
If it weren't for bad love, I wouldn't have no love at all

[Verse 3]
So  if I make it back, darlin', I swear
I'll never call you again
But they got my back to the wall
If it weren't for you, [Dear/then?] I wouldn't have no friend at all

[Bridge]
What  am I to do
With my weekend on some [?]?
Stumblin' like a child
Feelin' lost out in the dark

[Verse 4]
So I been livin' out on the edge
And I'll be this way 'til I'm dead
I've been down since the day I was born
If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
