Story Behind The Song

A conversation I had with Buddy Jewell at a studio in Nashville, as we both shared our story of struggle. Buddy has made it, now I hope to.

Song Description

This is about anyone who has a goal, pursues it inspite of being told NO time after time, and hits it big.

Lyrics

A Lucky Break

Got a pink slip in my mail box
It's now or never, no more time clocks
Time to hit the road I've had all I can take

I'm driving into Nashville
Hoping to meet someone who will
Help this broken man catch a lucky break

Cause I heard that music square
could be the answer to my prayer
No more dreaming, it's a chance I gotta take
Wrote a song 'bout lonely hearts
hey it's bound to climb the charts
If only I can get a lucky break

I'm living in my old pick-up
It's been my home for the last month
I admit it's kind of hard but that's okay

I'm pumping gas and waiting tables
Sending demo's to some labels
Doing what it takes to catch a lucky break

Man I'm hoping music square
will be the answer to my prayer
No more dreaming, it's a chance I gotta take
I ain't never gonna quit I don't care how rough it gets
But I?m praying that I'll get a lucky break

Well I just got off my cell phone with a lady who just listened
To a song that I submitted yesterday
She said it's a real toe-tapper, and my words really grabbed her
And she'd like to meet me later on today

Well it looks like music square is the answer to my prayer
It's so cool to hear my song ain't good it's great
Signed a contract, got some dough, Now I'm on the radio
No more waiting tables seven days a week
Being in the top ten's icing on the cake
I'm loving life 'cause I got a lucky break
