Lyrics
I'd Rather Be Lucky Than Good
The bartender's taking
the glasses away
I'd walk myself home if I could.
Though I try every night
to do what is right
in the end I never do what I should
You've a million good reasons
to leave me tonight
though you tell me
that you never would.
With you, I'm the luckiest man that I know
I guess I'd rather be lucky than good.
I can ramble on why
I shouldn't be here tonight
with one more last beer in my hand
Though friends come and go
like the seasons, I know
you stay with me
why... I don't understand.
Better men have adored you
but didn't get far
I've spent my life
knocking on wood.
With you, I'm the luckiest man that I know
I guess I'd rather be lucky than good.
So what do I do
at the end of the day?
I call you...
I guess that's understood.
With you, I'm the luckiest man that I know
I guess I'd rather be lucky than good.
