House got too crowded clothes got too tight

And I don't 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



I'm going down to Lucky Town

Going down to Lucky Town

I wanna lose these blues I've found

Down in Lucky Town

Down in Lucky Town



Had a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots

But that coat always had a thread hangin' to loose

Well I pulled it one night and to my surprise

It led me right past your house and on over the rise



I'm going down to Lucky Town

Down to Lucky Town

I'm gonna lose these blues I've found

Down in Lucky Town

Down in Lucky Town



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

Tonight I'm sleepin' lightly and feelin' no pain



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 to dirt on my hands but I'm building me a new home



Down in Lucky Town

Down in Lucky Town

I'm gonna lose these blues I've found

Down in Lucky Town
