I Feel Lucky

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 fingers 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

Mmmmmm I feel lucky today

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

The pots eleven million so I called in sick to work

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

Crossed against the lights and made a beeline for the park

The sky began to thunder, the wind began to moan

I heard a voice above me sayin girl you better get back home

But I feel lucky, I feel lucky yeah

No tropical depression's gonna steal my sun away

Mmmmmmm 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, LyleLovetts

Right beside me with his hand upon my thigh

The moral of this story, is simple but its 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

Mmm, I feel lucky today
