Lucky Number 7

I knew a man of superstition
But believed in God and all his wisdom
With a cross across his chest
He carried on

He would swear to me
One broke his heart
Severing his soul with the blade of a knife
On the 13th of a Friday's night

Don't you ever trust in a full Moon
Or you'll end up like me real soon
He crossed his fingers
As this tale was told

He's been to hell and back
Fighting all his demons
With an ol' black cat crossing along his way
Been hanging by a thread
Warding off this evil
Now, my friend, your life will never be the same

I've never seen no broken mirror
His contradictions made him a real sinner
Knock on wood
That's how the story goes

He'd bet his life he tried the reaper's reason
For all mistakes and all his treason
Right hand to God
That's why his momma's gone

For one week's time
Tried a four-leaf clover
Still no luck when the night was over
And even the father rested on the seventh day

He's been to hell and back
Fighting all his demons
With an ol' black cat crossing along his way
Been hanging by a thread
Warding off this evil
Now, my friend, your life will never be the same

He's been to hell and back
Fighting all his demons
With an ol' black cat crossing along his way
Been hanging by a thread
Warding off this evil
Now, my friend, your life will never be the same

Now, my friend, your life will never be the same
Now, my friend, your life will never be the same

It's been told he ain't around here no more
It's been said he's figured out his life for sure
I've never heard of such an ill-fated son of a gun
That ole reckless gambler might have just come undone
