Lyrics
I'd rather be Lucky
Raised on a horse, yeah, I'z born to ride
When I pick a winner it's a matter of pride
Lady Luck, she whispers in my ear
Daily double coming's gonna make my year.
The sport of kings, I still stand in line
To bet it all 'cross the board on
number 9
Nine's a sleeper, but I've seen her fly
The odds are right, she's paying six to five
I'd rather be lucky than the 1 percent
Flashin' their money, 'tryin to be where I been Chorus
I'm justa cowboy still living free
Trustin' Lady Luck to hold the reins for me
Luck can win the lottery, or toss you behind Bridge
Its' up, down & sideways, without even tryin
Like breakin' a bronc, oh I never forget
The harder I work, the bigger spread I get.
I'd rather be lucky than the 1 percent
Flashin' their money, 'tryin to be where I been Chorus
I'm justa cowboy still living free
Trusting Lady Luck to hold the reins for me
Trusting Lady Luck to hold the reigns for me
