I Feel Lucky Lyrics

I Feel Lucky lyrics

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)
