SOMEBODY TOLD ME THEY'D GIVE ME A MILLION DOLLARS IF I WROTE A SONG WITH A LONG, RIDICULOUS NAME (MURPHY'S LAW)...

Walkin' through uptown
I go in another bar
and just like that, there you are

And even though I'm down
I shoot a smile your way
I get you to come on by and say hey

And what are the chances
that our glances would meet
all this time after you threw me out on the street

Well, it'll happen if it can happen at all
That's what's called Murphy's Law

I'm always the good guy
I never sang another song
until you went and came along

But as hard as I try
I only make one mistake
but only one is all that it takes

And now I sit and wait
and I pray for that word
Those only lonely words that I heard

But it'll happen if it can happen at all
That's what's called Murphy's Law

Now there's nothing left to say
but "Who's this Murphy guy anyway?
and why's he always out to get me?"

There's a new sheriff in town
What Murphy says is what's going down
But why's he always out to get me?

Somebody told me
they'd give me a million dollars
if I wrote a song with a long, ridiculous name

"You want it in writing?"
I said, "No, that's OK"
and now I've only got myself to blame

'Cuz he died the next day
and the government came
and took all his cash and possessions away

Well it'll happen if it can happen at all
That's what's called Murphy's Law

Now there's nothing left to say
but "Who's this Murphy guy anyway?
and why's he always out to get me?"

There's a new sheriff in town
What Murphy says is what's going down
But why's he always out to get me?
