Luck Runs Dry

"Luck Runs Dry" came from a real moment in my military journey. Coming home wasn't easy. The transition, the memories, trying to find your place again. "’Cause rock bottom’s just a place to bounce—And sometimes fate keeps track of the counts."—that's what I felt when I first stepped back on American soil. This song is for every veteran who's made that journey, for every family that waited, for every moment of coming back to the life you left behind.

I've heard from so many veterans and active-duty members who connect with this song. That's what makes it worth it—knowing that our shared experiences, our stories, can bring us together.

We serve with honor, we live with purpose, and we tell our stories so others know they're not alone.

This is more than a song—it's our story. And I'm honored to share it with you.

(Inspired by the mood of “When It Rains It Pours”)Topic: Bad luck during reintegration… until it turns aroundTone: Wry, humorous, relatable Verse 1 Got home on a Monday, truck died by noon,Caught a parking ticket and a sunburn too.Girlfriend said she needed “space to grow,”Guess she found a gardener while I was gone at war zones. Verse 2 Lost my wallet at the VFW hall,Brother drank my last beer, never said “my fault.”Thought my luck got stuck in another time zone—Till the universe finally tossed me a bone. Pre-Chorus ’Cause rock bottom’s just a place to bounce—And sometimes fate keeps track of the counts. Chorus When the luck runs dry,Something good comes by.Hit the gas and the engine finally roared,Found a new love knockin’ at my door.Got a paycheck early and a blue-sky high—Funny what you find when the luck runs dry. Bridge Turns out life ain’t out to get me—It was clearing room for things I couldn’t see. * Influence: Light Luke Combs energy, no melodic similarity
