Got Lucky Last Night Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

Well I was down at the Cotton Club last night 

With a couple of my buddies drinking beer 

We were lookin' for something I ain't never seen 

Boys, I'm grinnin' from ear to ear 

When I see her long legs come walking in the door 

And her high heels clicking on the floor 

I knew right then I'd be headin' in 

To something I ain't never seen before 

That's right I got lucky last night, that's right 

Yea, I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 

I got lucky last night 

Well I took my hands out of my pants 

And walked up and asked her to dance 

Oh, we two-stepped, we three-stepped, 

'Fore you even know it, we were tighter than old Jimmy J's pants 

Ain't nothing to learn, one slide or a turn 

With a big move over to the side 

Where we don't have to shout, and we can both figure out 

How we're gonna get away from here light 

That's right lucky last night, that's right 

Yea, I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 

I got lucky last night 

Oh, that's right, that's right 

I got lucky last night, that's right 

I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 

I got lucky last night 

Well this lovely lady with keys to a car 

Whispered she didn't live far 

I said who cares, she said how come chum 

We don't skate out of this bar 

So we dosi-doed, we grand right and left 

And grabbed two six-packs from the bar 

While some fool sang Goodnight Irene, 

I mean we both gone in the car 

Son, that's right, I got lucky last night, that's right 

I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 

But it happened to me, yessiree 

That's right, lucky last night, that's right 

Ain't no reason or rhyme, it just happens sometime 

You got lucky that's right, oh last night, that's right 

I got lucky last night, that's right 

I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 

I got lucky last night
