Got Lucky Last Night lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



Well I was down at the Cotton Club last night

With a couple of my buddies drinking beer

We were lookin` for something I ain`t never seen

Boys, I`m grinnin` from ear to ear

When I see her long legs come walking in the door

And her high heels clicking on the floor

I knew right then I`d be headin` in

To something I ain`t never seen before



That`s right I got lucky last night, that`s right

Yea, I`m telling you true, it could happen to you

I got lucky last night



Well I took my hands out of my pants

And walked up and asked her to dance

Oh, we two-stepped, we three-stepped,

`Fore you even know it, we were tighter than old Jimmy J`s pants

Ain`t nothing to learn, one slide or a turn

With a big move over to the side

Where we don`t have to shout, and we can both figure out

How we`re gonna get away from here light



That`s right lucky last night, that`s right

Yea, I`m telling you true, it could happen to you

I got lucky last night

Oh, that`s right, that`s right

I got lucky last night, that`s right

I`m telling you true, it could happen to you

I got lucky last night



Well this lovely lady with keys to a car

Whispered she didn`t live far

I said who cares, she said how come chum

We don`t skate out of this bar

So we dosi-doed, we grand right and left

And grabbed two six-packs from the bar

While some fool sang Goodnight Irene,

I mean we both gone in the car



Son, that`s right, I got lucky last night, that`s right

I`m telling you true, it could happen to you

But it happened to me, yessiree

That`s right, lucky last night, that`s right

Ain`t no reason or rhyme, it just happens sometime

You got lucky that`s right, oh last night, that`s right

I got lucky last night, that`s right

I`m telling you true, it could happen to you

I got lucky last night
