Robbie Dupree - Lucky Lyrics

Songwriter: David Sancious Robbie Dupree

Producer: Robbie Dupree

[Verse 1]
Done a lot of livin' in my time
Looking back, I guess I've done alright
Brooklyn bar with nothin' much to lose
Bought a cheap guitar and learned the 12-bar blues
Caught a show on Meeker Street one night
I heard Paul Butterfield play, and it changed my life

[Chorus]
I got lucky
Ooh, I got lucky

[Verse 2]
New world rising in the Summer of Love
Worked every night in a different club
Hand-to-mouth with no guarantees
We used to drive all night just to play for free
So many friends lost along the way
It's a wonder I'm still here today

[Chorus]
I got lucky
Ooh, I got lucky
Gonna roll the dice
Shake it up tonight
'Cause I got lucky, baby
Ooh...

[Chorus]
Gonna roll the dice
Shake it up tonight
I got lucky
Ooh...

[Verse 3]
Hеard my song on a L.A. station
Big billboards and a nomination
Got a limousine, a black Continental
I caught a ride, but it was just a rеntal
Many times I thought they'd count me out
I'm a lone shark runnin' and I won't stop now

[Chorus]
I got lucky
Ooh, I got lucky
Gonna roll the dice
Shake it up tonight
I got lucky
Ooh...

[Outro]
Lucky, baby
New world risin'
New world risin'
I'm gonna shake it up tonight
New world risin' (I got lucky, baby)
New world risin'
New world risin'
New world risin' (gonna shake it up tonight)
