Some Guys Have All The Luck
Junior Tucker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

Alone in a crowd on a bus after working, I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty
How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
Seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo

Someone to take on a walk by the lake Lord, let it be me
Someone who's shy, someone who'd cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out she was foolin' me
You're just a dream, and as real as it seems, I ain't that lucky

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

All of my friends have a ring on their finger, they have someone
Someone to care for them, it ain't fair, I got no one
The car overheated, I called up and pleaded, there's help on the way
I called you collect, you didn't accept, you had nothing to say

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy, I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo




Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo

Overall Meaning

The song "Some Guys Have All The Luck" by Junior Tucker is about a man who feels unlucky in love. He sees other guys around him who seem to have everything going for them in the love department while he remains alone and unloved. The lyrics express his longing for someone to love and to be loved by, but it seems that fate is against him. He is envious of the love that other guys have and wonders why he can't have the same.


The song talks about the unfairness of life and how some people seem to have it all while others struggle. The image of the singer alone on a crowded bus while the guy next to him cuddles with his girl reinforces the theme of loneliness and longing. He dreams of finding someone to share his life with, someone he can take on a walk by the lake or watch sad movies with. However, he fears that if he ever finds someone, she might not be true to him, leaving him even more brokenhearted.


The chorus repeats over and over again, emphasizing the contrast between those who have luck and those who don't. The singer's friends are all married or in relationships, but he is still searching. The final lines suggest that there might be someone out there for him, someone he cares deeply for, but he fears losing her. The song is a poignant reminder that love is not easy to find, and sometimes even when we do find it, we still feel unlucky.
