Lucky Town Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, house got too crowded, clothes got too tight
And I know just where I'm going tonight
Out where the sky's been cleared by a good hard rain
There's somebody callin' my secret name

[Chorus]
I'm going down to Lucky Town
Going down to Lucky Town
I wanna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Baby, down in Lucky Town

[Verse 2]
Had a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots
But that coat always had a thread hangin' loose
Well, I pulled it one night and to my surprise
It led me right past your house and on over the rise

[Chorus]
I'm going down to Lucky Town
Down to Lucky Town
I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Baby, down in Lucky Town
[Bridge]
I had some victory that was just failure in deceit
Now the joke's comin' up through the soles of my feet
I been a long time walking on fortune's cane
Well, tonight I'm steppin' lightly and feelin' no pain

[Verse 3]
Well, here's to your good looks, baby, now here's to my health
Here's to the loaded places that we take ourselves
When it comes to luck, you make your own
Tonight I got dirt on my hands, but I'm building me a new home

[Chorus]
Baby, down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town
I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Baby, down in Lucky Town

[Chorus]
I'm going down to Lucky Town
Down to Lucky Town
I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Baby, down in Lucky Town
[Chorus]
I'm going down to Lucky Town
Down to Lucky Town
I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Baby, down in Lucky Town
