Song title: Lucky Girl

(Scialfa, Campbell) by Patti Scialfa

Lucky Girl

I never wanted nothing
Baby you know it's true
I never wanted nothing
The way I wanted you
I kept me hands clean
I walked a good line
I knew someday baby
Someday you'd be mine
And when fortune came to town
I was standing in with the unsatisfied
So I lay my wishes down
For the things that money can't buy

Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl
Oh baby you know it's true
Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl
I've been lucky since I found you

I used to play it safe
Yea that's what I'd do
I never wanted nothing
Nothing I could lose
I was just frightened of
Of the price you pay
For every good thing
That ever comes your way
I'm going to lay my worries down
Lay them down baby
Yeah I can't complain
'Cause I'm shining (shining) down
Like a new link in an old chain

Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl
I've been lucky since I found you
I'm a lucky girl
I'm a lucky girl
I'm a lucky girl
I'm a lucky girl

Yeah I got lucky baby
Yeah 'cause I got wise
You can run but you can never hide
Build a house of steel
Raise a cross of stone
When that cold wind blows
It finds you all alone
And when fortune came to town
I was standing in with the unsatisfied
So I lay my wishes down
For the things that money can't buy

Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl
Oh baby you know it's true
Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl
I've been lucky since I found you
Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl
Mmmm baby you know it's true
Oh I guess I'm a lucky girl
I've been lucky since I found you
I've been lucky since
I've been lucky since
I've been lucky since I found you
I've been lucky since
I've been lucky since
I've been lucky since I found you
Oh guess I'm a lucky girl
Oh such a lucky girl
Oh yes I'm a lucky girl
Oh such a lucky girl
