American Luck

Started out with nothing except the urge to playJust me and my big ego gonna make it big one dayI never had the money. I didn't have a carI had to bust my ass at work to save for my guitarsBorn a CanadianDidn't come from the USAThe odds are all against me. nobody will defend meFrom bogus bands with cash who just can't playAmerican luckToo bad we're CanucksPeople think I'm famous but the thought is just absurdI've made a lot of albums but I don't think that you've heardIf I was American I guess I'd be a starA victim of the Great White North, completely battlescarredI've never been a big shot but the fact is that I've triedWe've seen our name in lights but we're never satisfiedDon't live a life of luxury but hold on to your hopesEach time you buy my albums I can buy a pack of smokes
