Story behind the song
Written after a long bout of bad luck.

A friend of mine came by about a week ago
My friend he asked me why I was movin' slow
I said this ain't slow I'm only bein' cautious
This thing's goin' down and it was makin' me nauseous
Learned to deal with luck when luck's runnin' bad
'cause it's the only damn luck that I've ever had
(CHORUS)
Now I expect it, I accept it, I deal with it and move along
I correct it, can't reject it, that's how I keep on hangin' on
When I get stuck, I pull it out of the muck
Got to deal with bad luck and move along
My friend he has money, I want some too
His life is milk and honey, mine's dog bone stew
I say the stew ain't bad if you get it down quick
and don't let your gravy get too thick
Got to deal with it before it gets too strong
Got to deal with bad luck and move along
(INSTRUMENTAL)
I packed my suitcase, the handle broke
Got to deal with it and move along
Get the feelin' life's just a cruel, cruel joke
Got to deal with it and move along
The wrong place, the wrong time
and you was only tryin' to find you some peace of mind
Don't waste your time at the scene of the crime
There's nothin' here to see, so move along
(CHORUS)
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Got to deal with it, got to get you feelin' good
Got to deal with bad luck and move along
