Well, I cussed out on my boss and got fired
Then I hit the lottery and now I'm retired
The odds of that happenin' slim to none
But I wasn't surprised when I won

It happens everyday
I'm just lucky that way

I'm not braggin' don't take it like that
But good things just seem to fall in my lap
My good fortune, I cannot help
I'm just lucky inspite of myself

It happens everyday
I'm just lucky that way

Friends and relations knockin' down on my door
Not to mention folks I've never seen before
Got my phone number changed, had it taken out of the book
Still my phone keeps ringin' off the hook

My luck's so good
Tell it's a crying shame
I have to move up the country
I have to change my name

It happens everyday, I win when I play
I'm just lucky that way, yeah

You know I win when I play
I'm just lucky that way
