Lucky everywhere but love

(Verse 1)

Woke up late, still caught the train
Sun came out in the middle of rain
Pulled a king from a worn-out deck
Walked away with a winning check

Found a twenty in an old blue coat
Car wouldn’t start, then it somehow broke
Back to life with a cough and a shove
Man, I’m lucky everywhere but love

⸻

(Pre-Chorus – tighten the groove)

I don’t knock, doors swing wide
Dice fall heavy on my side

⸻

(Chorus – big but not polished)

I’m lucky everywhere but love
Got a rabbit’s foot and a push from above
Every road bends the way I want
But her heart won’t give me what I hunt
Gold dust falls from the sky above
But I’m broke down bad in matters of love
Yeah, I’m lucky everywhere but love

⸻

(Verse 2)

Storm rolled through, missed my street
Whole town flooded but I stayed dry feet
Radio called, said “you just won”
Free round trip somewhere warm and sun

Dropped my keys in a crowded bar
Somehow landed right by my car
But when I lean in, she pulls the glove
I’m lucky everywhere but love

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

Train runs late for everyone else
Mine pulls up like it knows itself

⸻

(Chorus)

I’m lucky everywhere but love
Four-leaf clover never quite enough
Heaven tips its hat to me
But she won’t even let me be
Jackpot rings, turtle dove
Flies away when I speak of love
Yeah, I’m lucky everywhere but love

⸻

(Bridge – break it down, slide guitar answering vocals)

Maybe fate’s got a crooked grin
Hands me silver, keeps the sin
Of wantin’ something I can’t hold
Warm hands, heart gone cold

(Slide riff answering each line)

⸻

(Final Chorus – loose, repeat and jam out)

I’m lucky everywhere but love…
Yeah, lucky everywhere but love…

(Ad-lib over vamp)
“All these coins in my pocket…”
“Can’t buy her time…”
“Can’t buy her mind…”

Gritty blues rock shuffle, loose swing groove, slide guitar, smoky bar vibe, swagger, dusty southern feel
