Carpenter, Mary Chapin - I Feel Lucky Lyrics






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 minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
My eyes just about popped out of my head
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
Mmmmm, I feel lucky today

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

Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
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

    Was on a business trip implementing new software for high end government policy. I had pulled an all nighter at work. Went back to my hotel in the wee hours after implementing and it blew up! Was called back in after 2 hours sleep. This song came on in the cab on my way to work. Asked the driver to crank it! Found the problem, resolved the issue, came out smelling like a rose. I freaking LOVE this song!

  5. G.... J....

    Sometimes in the morning sometimes I remember a happy tune and I’m blessed by it just like when I was a kid

  6. J.... M....

    I totally forgot about this song.

  7. D.... R....

    Road trip anyone?

  8. C.... W....

  9. F.... T....

    Can't believe they snub her at the CMA country women tribute.

    F.... T....

    She and Lucinda and Emmylou and just about anybody else.

    F.... T....

    She's great and should have been there I just hope country isn't gonna go all feminazi on us.

  10. R.... E....

    hey cher

  11. b.... s....

    Probably the most underrated musician of all time she’s amazing

    b.... s....

  16. t.... d....

    if you think a menage a trois with dwight and lyle is lucky today...lol

    t.... d....

    Dwight is very sexy but Lyle idk about that. Maybe it's more the voice or she just likes to be non conformist. Her style of country is definitely different and I love it.

  17. H.... ....

    The drummer in this (Robbie Magruder) just passed the other day. Rest in peace Robbie. The sound of your drums will live on for eternity.

    H.... ....

    Thanks for posting. Now I'm going to look him up and his drumming will live in my memory too.

  18. C.... W....

    Her fantasy men are... Dwight Yoakam... and Lyle Lovett... :|

    C.... W....

    Dwight is sexy but Lyle idk about that lol. Must be the voice.

    C.... W....

    @America Love it Or leave it - ikr? And he got Julia Roberts? I think it's just proof that Julia is genuine and Lyle is charming.

  19. B.... H....

    Love the song and video but can you people please get the lyrics correct if you insist on adding them! It makes you look like a idiot or better yet...a dumbass!!! Here's the correct lyrics to the song!

    LYRICS

    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 me a minute for my finger to find
    my daily dose of destiny under my sign.
    My eyes just about popped out-a my head.
    It said, "The starts are stacked against you, girl. Get back in bed."
    I feel lucky,
    I feel lucky, Yeah.
    No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way.
    Mm, I feel lucky today.
    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, the wind began to moan.
    I heard a voice above me sayin', "Girl, you'd better get back home."
    I feel lucky,
    I feel lucky, yeah.
    No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away.
    Mm, I feel lucky today.
    Now Eleven million later, I was sittin' at the bar.
    I bought the house a double, then the waitress a new car.
    Dwight Yoakim's in the corner, try'n' to catch my eye.
    Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh.
    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,
    I feel lucky, yeah.
    Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight.
    Hot dog, I feel lucky tonight.
    I feel lucky,
    I feel lucky.
    Think I'll flip a coin I'm a winner either way.
    Mmmmm I feel lucky today

    WOW... your way off there!

  20. W.... J....

    Ahhh, takes me back to the days when I could go out to a country bar and have a great time. These days the police sit watching people leave and you can get a DUI on one drink these days. It has pretty much killed the bar scene in the Atlanta area.

    W.... J....

    I know, I tried taxis but I hate waiting an hour or so for one to show up so I just do my drinking at home these days listening to all the great hits from my party days on youtube. What bars that remain play nothing but crap anyhow.....

    W.... J....

    @Wayne Johnson - C'mon now! Nothing like a good solid line dance. Look up those venues near you and support them. If they don't exist. Create one. Sending you positives.

  21. F.... D....

    Intro kinda bit of Sawyer brown

  23. R.... N....

  24. C.... N....

  25. D.... W....
