I Feel Lucky - Carol Welsman

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 so lucky

No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way

I feel lucky today

I strolled down to the corner

Gave my numbers to the clerk

The pot's eleven 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 rumble the wind began to moan

I heard a voice above me saying

Girl you better get back home

I feel lucky I feel so lucky

No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away

I feel lucky today

Eleven 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

And he's trying to catch my eye

Lyle Lovett's right beside me

With his hand upon my thigh

The moral of this story it's simple but it's true

You know the stars might lie

The numbers never do

I feel lucky I feel so lucky

Hey Dwight hey Lyle boys you don't have to fight

I feel lucky tonight

I feel lucky I feel so lucky

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

I feel lucky today
