Got Lucky Last Night

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
