Layman's Potion

I wake on up and settle on down wondering how there's still a ways to go I make my cup and go into town advertising why they should hire us now"Do you believe you can make it?""Sure" I said"But there's more to this than making a living" He said"What do you mean? I guess I hate my way of living" I said"We all just need direction to get away from the crowd" And he drank it up Layman's Potion Lemme tell ya I'm not broken; you steer your own luck He's just no good fortune Don't give me none of Layman's Potion So we took a walk down the only old open road Talkin' bout all his hopes and dreams Everyone says to never give up on all those Things you were just talking about But he could tell there was one piece, one piece missing The piece I had failed to mention Was"If all of it's true, you never talked of the nature of money, luck, and good looks being the best way forward now" And he drank it up Layman's Potion Lemme tell ya I'm not broken; you steer your own luck He's just no good fortune Don't give me none of Layman's Potion Two weeks later was the story A man robs a bank in the morning The TV news and all their glory Say he was a man in mourning I did laugh at the story It was the same old man in the four lane They said he wasn't there normally Even when I had the forewarning And he drank it up Layman's Potion Lemme tell ya I'm not broken; you steer your own luck He's just no good fortune And he drank it up Layman's Potion Lemme tell ya I'm not broken; you steer your own luck He's just no good fortune Don't give me none of Layman's Potion
