Lyric Tough Luck

(Steve Wilkinson/William Wallace)

She never planned on
The life she got
Married young
And then she just got caught
Years fly by
When you re raising kids
She s just a carbon copy
Of what her momma did

She was a perfect picture
Of a perfect wife
Out of focus
In her perfect life
So safe, so warm
No hint of danger
Wasting years
With the perfect stranger

But though luck s
The only luck she s known
And tough luck
To build your life on hope
(Oh) But she bought the deal
She made the vow
She d walk away
But she s just too proud
To ever throw in the towel
Tough luck

Convinced herself
That life made perfect sense
Two-car garage
And a while picket fence
Sometimes she feels
Like such a hypocrite
She s just a face in the portrait
And that s about it

But though luck s
The only luck she s known
And tough luck
To build your life on hope
(Oh) But she bought the deal
She made the vow
She d walk away
But she s just too proud
To ever throw in the towel
Tough luck
