Lyrics
'A Shot of Luck' © Mark S. Ludes (MSL)
(Country-Rock style)
V.1
Times are pretty tough when all you hear is more bad news.
It's not just B.B King out there singin' the Blues.
But even though things are not so good, I still like to think there's hope,
That things are gonna turn around, gonna learn to cope.
V.2
I guess I'm searching for a hand or that easy way around,
But, all I seem to find is just another way down, down, down.
Things keep coming at you from every dog-gone way,
Sometimes I kind of dread the thought of what's up today.
Chorus:
I feel it sinking in, it's pulling me down
I feel it from within, and all around.
I've got to "break" away and get myself free.
Stop this sinking feeling inside of me.
I need a shot of luck and a bottle of love...
I need a shot of luck and a bottle of love...
A shot of luck and a bottle of your love, that's what I need to get me through.
Bridge:
Feeling down is nothing new...but my feeling like this is not fair to you.
I'm not feeling sorry for myself - just need to be somebody else.
I need a shot of luck and a bottle of your love to get me through.......
(Guitar break - solo
I need a shot of luck and a bottle of love...
I need a shot of luck and a bottle of love...
A shot of luck and a bottle of your love, that's what I need to get me through.
