Runnin' down the highway half-past eleven

Waitin' for my odometer to roll straight sevens

I'm a lucky man

I went to see the gypsy the other night

She looked in my palm, looked me in the eye

And said "you're a lucky man"



"some folks got fortune, some got eyes of blue

What you got will always see you through

You're a lucky man"

Pa went from the army to the factory to the killin' yard

I make my living with my hands 'hind the wheel of this car

I'm a lucky man



Messin' with me, man, it wouldn't be wise

Roll them dice, son . . . snake eyes

I'm a lucky man



Had a girl in calgary, i gave her up

Man, that love thing was messin' with my luck

And i'm a lucky man

I'll wake up tomorrow morning in another state

Kiss me now, baby, before it's too late

If you wanna kiss a lucky man

I don't miss no girl, i don't miss no home

He travels fastest who travels alone

He's a lucky man

A man with the world in the palm of his hands
