Lyrics

If We're Lucky

I saw an El Camino It'd seen its better days
Parked at the casino where its owner hopes and prays
I wonder what luck brought them here to this godawful place
I only hope today's the day they finally draw their Ace

I drew my Ace at 19 when she was 21
I was still a novice and she was out for fun
No one gave us half a chance but that was all we needed
If our luck holds we will dance until the ball's completed

Everybody gets their rise and shine
Some days for laughin' and some for cryin'
And if we're real lucky we'll sip some wine
And take in the sunset before bedtime
If we're lucky, if we're lucky, if we're lucky

Now you may find if you work real hard at something you believe in
Luck might lend a helping hand to lift the life you're livin'
Please don't let your big head forget all your friends
Love is all that matters, so share the dividends

Everybody gets their half a chance
To spin the wheel of happenstance
And if we're real lucky we'll find we've won
A life worth livin' that's full of fun

Everybody gets their rise and shine
Some days for laughin' and some for cryin'
And if we're real lucky we'll sip some wine
And take in the sunset before bedtime
If we're lucky, if we're lucky, if we're lucky

There's more laughin' than cryin'
If we're lucky

We'll have a good time
If we're lucky
