Got Lucky Last Night Lyrics

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
