Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The smell of coffee hits me as I open up my eyes
A southern angel wearing nothing but an apron and a smile
I say thank you sweet Lord Jesus
Tell the truth don't know how I got so lucky
[Verse 2]
All them boys from back in high school wonder how I'm still alive
Hooked by a bull dove off of Blue Lake Bridge and wrecked my pick-up twice
Then she picked this here country boy out of all them other guys
Boys that's lucky
[Verse 3]
Well, I got a couple buddies playing football in the pros
And I know this guy who owns a whole dang beach in Mexico
There's some with good looks some with brains
Some rolling in the dough
But y'all trust me, I'd rather be lucky
[Verse 4]
Now, you can win a Powerball with eighty million in the pot
Then go on in with Ace and King and hit a straight flush on the flop
You can sit here on this creek bank fishing with a girl this hot
Man, that's plain lucky
[Verse 5]
Yeah my old college roommate's some big software CEO
My cousin benches four oh five and flies his jet to Rome
There's some with good looks some with brains
Some rolling in the dough
But y'all trust me, I'd rather be lucky
[Verse 6]
Well, my baby's one in a million, fellas
And I tell you that's the truth
So while you're out searching for one that's sweet and smart and sexy too
I'll be home sipping a cold one for you
Here's to hoping you get lucky
I hope you get lucky
[Verse 7]
'Cause they sing about the girl that I got on the radio
She's the cross between a color of an outdoor life and Vogue
There's folks that think they got it all
Folks rollin' in the dough
But y'all, trust me
Yeah, I'd rather be lucky
I'd rather be lucky
I'd rather be lucky than good any day of the week, girl
