(Verse 1)
Woke up late, still caught the train
Sun came out in the middle of rain
Pulled a king from a worn-out deck
Walked away with a winning check
Found a twenty in an old blue coat
Car wouldn’t start, then it somehow broke
Back to life with a cough and a shove
Man, I’m lucky everywhere but love
⸻
(Pre-Chorus – tighten the groove)
I don’t knock, doors swing wide
Dice fall heavy on my side
⸻
(Chorus – big but not polished)
I’m lucky everywhere but love
Got a rabbit’s foot and a push from above
Every road bends the way I want
But her heart won’t give me what I hunt
Gold dust falls from the sky above
But I’m broke down bad in matters of love
Yeah, I’m lucky everywhere but love
⸻
(Verse 2)
Storm rolled through, missed my street
Whole town flooded but I stayed dry feet
Radio called, said “you just won”
Free round trip somewhere warm and sun
Dropped my keys in a crowded bar
Somehow landed right by my car
But when I lean in, she pulls the glove
I’m lucky everywhere but love
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Train runs late for everyone else
Mine pulls up like it knows itself
⸻
(Chorus)
I’m lucky everywhere but love
Four-leaf clover never quite enough
Heaven tips its hat to me
But she won’t even let me be
Jackpot rings, turtle dove
Flies away when I speak of love
Yeah, I’m lucky everywhere but love
⸻
(Bridge – break it down, slide guitar answering vocals)
Maybe fate’s got a crooked grin
Hands me silver, keeps the sin
Of wantin’ something I can’t hold
Warm hands, heart gone cold
(Slide riff answering each line)
⸻
(Final Chorus – loose, repeat and jam out)
I’m lucky everywhere but love…
Yeah, lucky everywhere but love…
(Ad-lib over vamp)
“All these coins in my pocket…”
“Can’t buy her time…”
“Can’t buy her mind…”
