Lucky Didn't Make It

Lucky says I can’t sing too good
Says he’s got his limitations
But them kids up there on the video screens
They’re just pale imitations
And it ain’t just a record you’d hear on the jukebox
Every note means something about something he’s learned about
It’s a kiss from a girl or an old bloodshot forget-me-not
It’s all there for a reason – it’s all figured out
Lucky plays a Telecaster
Always wears a collar and tie
Once jammed with Muddy Waters
And he’s playing up in Lambeth tonight
But the work’s drying up a bit now there’s some new kids moved to town
But he’s still looking for that lucky break
His wife walked out on him about a year ago
Believe in something, you’ve got to believe it all the way
So drive me down the block
Don’t stop
Let’s rock around the clock
Let’s knock a hole into the heavens
And let the angels out again
I’ll take that scowl in my hands
And break it
I’ve got so many friends out there
That didn’t make it
I guess they won’t forsake me
If i get caught out on lovers’ lane
Get him to tell you the Elvis one
It’s a double scotch for an anecdote
Last orders and the lights come on
It’s a cigarette and a dirty joke
And they don’t play as much now as they used to do
But on their nights they still drive like an old machine
It’s guitars son – they don’t care about politics
It’s rock ‘n’ roll man – you know what i mean

Drown in Your Love
03:21

Oh well I guess I’ve got it bad
And it’s all because of you
And there is nobody else
Can do what you do
Keep on moving
Keep right on track
When you love me baby
I’m gonna love you right back
Every trick in the book baby
Moon and stars above
I’m gonna drown in your love
I’m gonna drown in your love
I’m gonna drown in your love
You’d better listen to me sweet, sweet darling
I’m gonna drown in your love
Oh well I guess that now you know
I can’t get you off my mind
Now I realise
You’re a rare, rare find
Keep on moving
Keep right on track
When you love me baby
I’m gonna love you right back
Every trick in the book baby
Moon and stars above
I’m gonna drown in your love
I’m gonna drown inside your love forever baby
I want to drown inside your love
I want to drown inside your love
I want to drown inside your love
I want to drown inside your love

Motel Living
03:33

Smoke the day’s first cigarette
As the sunlight hits the blinds
You ain’t slept but in two hours
You’re gonna leave this town behind
A girl sleeps on a sofa
But you forgot her name
Doesn’t really matter
Tonight you’re gonna do it all again
Somewhere east of Omaha
Running down a falling star
Someday now
You’re gonna be forgiven
Yeah, motel living
Sure ain’t good living
But it’s my kind of living
And that’s alright
Yeah, motel living
Sure ain’t good living
But it’s my kind of living
And that’s alright
Hear the jukebox buzzing
And the beer bottles ring
Another night, another show
Baby, it don’t mean a thing
The road goes on forever
But it ain’t so rough
Lights on the dashboard
Gonna be company enough
Somewhere east of Omaha
Running down a falling star
Someday now
You’re gonna be forgiven
Yeah, motel living
Sure ain’t good living
But it’s my kind of living
And that’s alright
Yeah, motel living
Sure ain’t good living
But it’s my kind of living
And that’s alright

Thank Your Lucky Stars

My friend you say you’re just one of her lovers
Think that she’s got so many others
That’s not what she told me
If you look in her eyes you’ll see
It’s not true
It’s not true
You’ll find when you come home one day
She’ll have packed her things and run away
And she’ll leave you feeling blue
You’d better thank your lucky stars
That the girl is yours
Don’t make a fuss I might just
Take her away from you
My friend you don’t know how good you’ve got it
Take a look at her smile, take a look at her body
And all those thoughts you hide
Will just eat you up inside
If you only knew
Knew
You’ll find when you come home one day
She’ll have packed her things and run away
And she’ll leave you feeling blue
You’d better thank your lucky stars
That the girl is yours
Don’t make a fuss I might just
Take her away from you
Stars
Thank your lucky stars
That the girl is yours
Thank your lucky stars
You’d better thank your lucky stars
That the girl is yours
Don’t make a fuss I might just
Take her away from you

My Girl
03:45

Swept the front porch
Put flowers ‘round the place
Combed my hair and baby
I shaved my face
When I got your letter
It took me by surprise
Got a bottle of Burgundy
Put on a collar and a tie
My girl’s coming home to me tonight
My girl’s coming back to me tonight
I know everything’s gonna be alright
When you said you were leaving
I couldn’t believe
When you left you took away
The best part of me
Now I’ve cleaned up real good
Told all your friends
I ain’t the same these days
Don’t want to let you go again
My girl’s coming home to me tonight
My girl’s coming back to me tonight
I know everything’s gonna be alright
There ain’t a cloud in the sky
Ain’t a hint of rain
I’m gonna make my way
Meet you down at the train
I can’t hardly wait
For your sweet, sweet touch
Oh baby
I missed you so much
My girl’s coming home to me tonight
My girl’s coming back to me tonight
I know everything’s gonna be alright
