I Feel Lucky Lyrics - Singles - 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)
