Got Lucky Last Night
Jerry Jeff Walker
I like to capo this on 4
Well I was down at the Cotton Club last night
With a couple of my buddies drinking beer
We were lookin for something I ain t never seen
Boys, I m grinnin from ear to earss
||
When I see her long legs come walking in the door-i
And her high heels clicking on the floor
I knew right then I d be headin in
To something I ain t never seen before
That s right I got lucky last night, that s right
Yea, I m telling you true, it could happen to you
I got lucky last night
Well I took my hands out of my pants
And walked up and asked her to dance
Oh, we two-stepped, we three-stepped,
Fore you even know it, we were tighter than old Jimmy J s pants
Ain t nothing to learn, one slide or a turn
With a big move over to the side
Where we don t have to shout, and we can both figure out
How we re gonna get away from here light
That s right lucky last night, that s right
Yea, I m telling you true, it could happen to you
I got lucky last night
Oh, that s right, that s right
I got lucky last night, that s right
I m telling you true, it could happen to you
I got lucky last night
Well this lovely lady with keys to a car
Whispered she didn t live far
I said who cares, she said how come chum
We don t skate out of this bar
So we dosi-doed, we grand right and left
And grabbed two six-packs from the bar
While some fool sang Goodnight Irene,
I mean we both gone in the car
Son, that s right, I got lucky last night, that s right
I m telling you true, it could happen to you
But it happened to me, yessiree
That s right, lucky last night, that s right
Ain t no reason or rhyme, it just happens sometime
You got lucky that s right, oh last night, that s right
I got lucky last night, that s right
I m telling you true, it could happen to you
I got lucky last night
