I Feel Lucky

Performed by Mary-Chapin Carpenter



Well I woke up this morning

Stumble out of my rack

I opened up the paper

To the page at the back

It only took a minute

For my finger to find

My daily dose of destiny

Under my sigh

My eyes just about pop

Out of my head

Said stars stacked are against you

Girl get back in bed



I feel lucky, I feel lucky yeah

No professor doom

Gonna stand in my way

Hmm, I feel luck today



Well I strolled down to the corner

Gave my numbers to the clerk

The pot is eleven million

So I called in sick to work

I bought a pack of carmel

A burritos and a box

Crossed against the line

Made a bline for the park

The sky began to thunder

Wind began to moan

I heard a voice above me saying

Girl you better get back home



I feel lucky, I feel lucky

No tropical depression

Gonna steal my sun away

Hmm, I feel lucky today

Now eleven million later

I was sitting at the bar

I bought the house a double

And the waitress a new car

Dwight Yokan in the corner

Trying to catch my eye

Lyly Luwiz right beside me

Lean his hand upon my thigh

Oh Lord love the story

It's simple but it's true

The stars might lie

But the numbers never do



I feel lucky, I feel lucky

Hey Dwight, hey Lyle

Boys you don't have to fight

Hot dog I feel lucky tonight

I feel lucky, I feel lucky yeah

Think I flip a coin

I am a winner either way

Hmm, I feel lucky today
