Story Behind The Song

When one feels lucky to begin with, more luck comes their way. The subject starts alone but still feels lucky to take the journey. They meet the love of their life and although traveling the world together, the subject is paying more attention to their lover rather than the scenery. Eventually they start a family and despite the usual frustrations of raising kids, still feels gratitude. Ultimately, the subject discovers that even with all the money and fortune in the world, it doesn't make one any luckier than they are in this very moment.

Lyrics

Feeling Lucky

V1: I put a little dash of sunshine
In my morning cup
Help me get through the day
Help me keep me chin up
That's just me feeling lucky
That's just me feeling cool

I was walking down the sidewalk
Lookin' for a little song to sing
I wasn't causing no trouble
I was just doing my thing
That's just me feeling lucky
That's just me feeling cool

B1: Three hundred sixty five and one quarter days
To take the full ride
No matter how many years we ride the train
I'll be by your side

V2: Key West to Montana
The Grand Canyon too
Big Thompson to Little Tybee
I was just looking at you
That was just me feeling lucky
That was just me feeling cool

So now I'm following the kids around the house
Turning off the lights
I mean we ain't the Rockefeller's are we?
But I suppose we're doing alright
That's just me feeling lucky
That's just me feeling cool





B2: Two hundred seven thousand and two hundred years
Brings us to today
Sunrise to sunset must mean more than it appears
But now I'm sounding so cliché

V3: Rabbit's foot got caught
Under the horse's shoe
Salt over my shoulder
Landed where the four-leaf clover grew
But I'm still here, feeling lucky
But I'm still here, feeling cool

So if I had the perfect body
And higher self-esteem
And I had more money
Than the world ever seen
Would it make me feel more lucky
Would it make me be more lucky
No that's just me feeling lucky
That's just me feeling cool
