I FEEL LUCKY (Mary-Chapin Carpenter & Don Schlitz) -------------------------------------------------- [Actually in B; capo at the 7th fret] [intro] Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack I opened up the paper to the page in the back It only took a moment for my finger to find My daily dose of destiny, under my sign My eyes just about popped out of my head [stop] n.. It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed" I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way [stop] n.. Mmmmm, I feel lucky today [instrumental] Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan I heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home" But I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away Mmmmm, I feel lucky today [Guitar solo] [stop] Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar () [stop] I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car [stop] Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye () [stop] Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh () [stop] [stop] The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight Hot dog, I'm feeling lucky tonight I feel lucky, brrrrr, I feel lucky, yeah Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today n..
