Beginner's Luck

You're more than kind, they used to say

When we used to help 'em out, or bring 'em to town, or take their trash away

And now we find, after they've passed away

They left us this old house, where we live today

Beginner's luck, I can't believe it - Beginners luck, what did you say

Beginner's luck, you've got to be kidding - Beginner's luck, ...O.K....

I can't quite hear you honey but I don't wanna make you shout

So come a little closer darlin', so I can understand what you're talkin' about

And if you want to go, well I can take you home

'Cause at a time like this, I don't think I should leave you alone

Beginner's luck, smile like a baby - Beginner's luck, fly like a bird

Beginner's luck, run like a rabbit - Beginner's luck, just say the word

It isn't carved in stone, it's only cast in concrete

Nothin' you couldn't handle, with a few sledge hammer blows

But when things get ugly, and you've got to take a stand

Sometimes things just work out even better than you ever could have planned

Beginner's luck, cry like a baby - Beginner's luck, just say the word

Beginner's luck, talk to the lawyer - Beginner's luck, don't give 'em the bird

And in this part, when things get slow,

What do you say, well I don't know

But I remember clearly, Morry used to say

Nine out of ten things you worry about never happen anyway

Beginner's luck, just look at that pitcher - Beginner's luck, swing that bat

Beginner's luck, run around the bases - Beginner's luck, forget about the hat

Then old John Picardi said to Lindalou,

Do you know how to play the mandolin Miss Lou? I'll tell you what I'll do

See I got this old one that I don't play anymore

And if you give me a hundred dollars, you can take it out the door.

Beginner's luck, not just for children - Beginner's luck, the young and the old

Beginner's luck, Every day you start over - Beginner's luck, the story is told
