Lyrics
Lucky Break
Twelve years old, not a trophy on the wall
Just the girl next door throwing back the football
She had big plans but her mama shot em? down
Nobody ever makes it from this old town
She moved to the city and went real far
She?s riding round? in limos and dating rock stars
She never takes time to remember me
It?s all behind
Shining bright on the TV screen
You did it all right, now where does that leave me?
Chorus
How did you get your lucky break?
How did you catch fire with the money you make?
Do you get tired of the fortune and fame, and every young boy screaming out your name?
How did you find your place in the sun?
How did you find out what it takes to be the one?
Cause? I?d give all of the stars in the Texas sky for my chance to fly
In a little café on a Hollywood street
Where all of the suits and the stars go to eat
I saw this kid from my high school team
He?s made it real big on the silver screen
I said excuse me sir, you remember me?
Heck, the last time we talked we were seventeen
Did you ever take time to remember me?
Or is it all behind?
Shining bright on the TV screen
You did it all right, now where does that leave me?
Chorus
