Old 97s - Four Leaf Clover Lyrics

I got a four leaf clover
It ain't done one single lick of good
I'm still a drunk, I'm still a loser
Living in a lousy neighborhood

I got a real live horseshoe
And I hung it upside-down above my door
But it don't do nothing to attract you
So I don't know what the hell it's for

Why don't you come over? I'll show you my four leaf clover
Who'm I trying to kid? I'm not the kind of guy you'd go for
I got a four leaf clover, I ain't got no hope of getting you

I got a lucky silver dollar
My granddad gave it to me now he's dead
Times like this I wish that I could join him
Might just stop this pounding in my head

Why don't you come over? I'll show you my four leaf clover
Who'm I trying to kid? I'm not the kind of guy you'd go for
I got a four leaf clover, I ain't got no hope of getting you
I ain't got no hope of getting you, I ain't got no hope of getting you, yeah
