I Feel Lucky - Carpenter Mary-Chapin



Well I woke up this morning, stumbled out of my rack

I opened up the paper to the page in the back

It only took a minute for my finger to find

My daily dose of destiny under my sign

My eyes just about popped out of my head

It said the stars are stacked against you, girl

Get back in bed



I feel lucky, I feel lucky

No Professor Doom's gonna stand in my way

Mmmm I feel lucky today



Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk

The pot's 11 million so I called in sick to work

I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito, and a Barq's

Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park

The sky began to thunder, the wind began to moan

I heard a voice above me saying, Girl you'd better get back home



But I feel lucky, I feel lucky

No tropical depression's gonna steal my sun away

Mmmm I feel lucky today



Well, 11 million later I was sitting at the bar

I'd bought the house a double and the waitress a new car

Dwight Yoakam's in the corner trying to catch my eye [*]

Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh [**]

The moral of the story is simple but it's true

Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do



I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah

Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight [***]

Hot dog, I feel lucky tonight



I feel lucky, I feel lucky

Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way

Mmmm I feel lucky today



(alternative last lines:

* Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh

** Julia Roberts's right behind me saying, "Girl, don't even try"

*** Julia may have Lyle, but I've still got Dwight)
