[Verse 1]
Gettin' bombed out on booze, got nothin' to lose
Run out of money, disposable blues
Sleazy hotels like livin' in hell
The girl's on the hustle with nothin' to sell

[Pre-Chorus]
Want somethin' for nothin', it's always the same
Keep pushin' and shovin' and I'm down on the game
Always in trouble, forever detained

[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye and good riddance to bad luck

[Verse 2]
Well, spread out the news, there's a free man loose
Back out of jail and chasin' some flooze
Bad luck has changed, broken the chains
Laid out a claim for monetary gains

[Pre-Chorus]
Wantin' what's comin', all for the take
Freedom for lovin' and lust for a taste
Eyes are wide open, wild to the game

[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye and good riddance to bad luck
[Post-Chorus]
Goodbye and good riddance to bad luck, yeah
Oh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye and good riddance to bad luck
Oh, yeah, and bad luck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, bad luck
Goodbye and good riddance to bad luck
Goodbye, good riddance to bad luck
Broken the chains of bad luck
Bye, bye, bye, bad luck
Throw down the gates of bad luck

[Outro]
Goodbye and good riddance
To bad luck
