Lucky Sometimes Lyrics by Pokey LaFarge

Rock Bottom Rhapsody

0

Waitin' tables at the burger stand
You were sitting alone
I came up for your order
And asked you 'What you want?'
You said, 'Do you really wanna know?'

Just got to town
I didn't have a friend, no
I didn't even have a car
Down at the Three Clubs I wrote you a poem
And you bought the drinks at the bar

Oh, then
You fell in love with me
Yes, you did
There was somethin' you could see
I was broken, I was poor
Then you said I could be yours
Though I don't have a dime
Even bums get lucky sometimes

I've never been a hero
I can't pretend to have a plan
No, I just want to be a regular guy
Does that mean I could be your man?

Not strong or fast, wasn't good in school
Yes, when I sing I'm flat or sharp
Then, you took your aim at me
And you shot your arrow through my heart

Oh, then
You fell in love with me
Yes, you did
You took me to A from Z
Yes, you did
There was somethin' you could see
I found my key, we're in perfect harmony
With every verse and rhyme
Even bums get lucky sometimes

Well, I don't deserve nothin'
But sometimes you get somethin'
Yeah, just from hangin' around
Even bums get lucky sometimes

Lucky sometimes

Even bums get lucky sometimes
