about

Frank: I was watching an episode of Law & Order which featured this loser type of guy that was always mooching off his sister and getting involved over his head trying to come up with money. Had some real tough characters after him but deep down he was actually a kindhearted guy. Then I saw this commercial with Frank Sinatra singing Luck Be A Lady from Guys & Dolls. Some how I connected the two and came up with Lucky.

lyrics

Lucky

Lucky was a loser
Lucky was a boozer
Cruisin’ the strip all day and night
Lucky couldn’t hide it
Lucky couldn’t find it
Lookin’ to make it up and make it all right

Lucky had a lady
But Lucky wasn’t crazy
Had to set it straight and keep it in sight
Lucky had a bad run
Lucky bought a hot gun
‘Cause Lucky couldn’t win a fist fight
What do you do with it now
You made your choice you made a vow
Gotta settle the score
‘Cause you can’t take no more
Wipe the sweat off your brow
Lucky what will you do now

Lucky took the hot seat
But Lucky wouldn’t be beat
Had his story rehearsed before it’s time
Lucky found his lady
Underneath a shade tree
Lucky took his lady for a ride
Where do you go when you run away
Who do you run to, where do you stay
So many mountains and hills to climb
To prove to them all you’ve committed no crime

Lucky was a loser
Lucky was a boozer
Lucky took his life late last night
Nobody shed a tear
Everyone just drank their beer
But I pray for Lucky tonight

Oh Lucky
Oh Lucky
Are you lucky tonight?
I’ll remember Lucky
I’ll remember Lucky
And I pray for Lucky tonight
I pray for Lucky tonight
Yeah, I pray for Lucky tonight
