Hardship‎ seems‎ finds‎ me‎
And‎ bad‎ luck‎ knows‎ my‎ name
I‎ hope‎ I‎ catch‎ a‎ break
Before‎ I‎ go‎ insane‎

A‎ home‎ is‎ where‎ you‎ make‎ it
A‎ home‎ belongs‎ to‎ you
A‎ home‎ cannot‎ be‎ taken‎
But‎ then‎ they‎ sometimes‎ do

To‎ say‎ that‎ I'm‎ a‎ victim‎
Ignores‎ my‎ circumstance‎
I‎ want‎ to‎ make‎ a‎ living‎
So‎ please‎ give‎ me‎ a‎ chance‎

(Chorus‎)
Every‎ day's‎ a‎ struggle‎
Simply‎ to‎ get‎ by
There‎ are‎ no‎ easy‎ answers‎
Only‎ easy‎ lies
The‎ best‎ that‎ I‎ can‎ do
Has‎ never‎ been‎ enough‎
I'm‎ living‎ in‎ my‎ car
Cause‎ life‎ is‎ pretty‎ rough‎

Oh‎ God,‎ can‎ you‎ hear‎ my‎ prayers‎
Dear‎ Lord,‎ no‎ one‎ seems‎ to‎ care
I'm‎ alone,‎ and‎ I'm‎ the‎ worse‎ for‎ wear
No‎ dreams,‎ I‎ don't‎ even‎ dare


Constant‎ fear‎ and‎ worrying‎
Have‎ taken‎ my‎ best‎ parts‎
When‎ all‎ you‎ have‎ is‎ misery‎
It‎ destroys‎ your‎ heart

By‎ the‎ law‎ of‎ probability‎
I'm‎ due‎ a‎ break‎ or‎ two
And‎ my‎ prolonged‎ run‎ of‎ bad‎ luck
Will‎ hopefully‎ be‎ through‎

Not‎ all‎ of‎ us‎ are‎ blessed‎
From‎ the‎ day‎ that‎ we‎ are‎ born‎
Some‎ enjoy‎ the‎ luxury‎
While‎ other‎ lives‎ are‎ torn‎

(Chorus‎)
Every‎ day's‎ a‎ struggle‎
Simply‎ to‎ get‎ by
There‎ are‎ no‎ easy‎ answers‎
Only‎ easy‎ lies
The‎ best‎ that‎ I‎ can‎ do
Has‎ never‎ been‎ enough‎
I'm‎ living‎ in‎ my‎ car
Cause‎ life‎ is‎ pretty‎ rough‎

Oh‎ God,‎ can‎ you‎ hear‎ my‎ prayers‎
Dear‎ Lord,‎ no‎ one‎ seems‎ to‎ care
I'm‎ alone,‎ and‎ I'm‎ the‎ worse‎ for‎ wear
