If You Get Lucky

If you get lucky, you'll get a shiner on your eye From the playground bully in the second grade And if you get lucky, she'll make a senior prom promise Just before she leaves for college out of state Your big dreams are gonna look hazy But don't think a thing of it when they call you crazy Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark Trippin' while you're wishin' on a fallin' star But hey, you'll learn to love your scars Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart If you get lucky (if you get lucky, ah, ah, ah) If you get lonely, I hope you run across somebody That makes you a little better than you used to be And if you worry 'cause you think the Jones' got it better I hope you come back down to reality Some nights are gonna last forever But the bravest of hearts, babe, they stay together now Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark Trippin' while you're wishin' on a fallin' star But hey, you'll learn to love your scars Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart If you get lucky If you get lucky, you'll watch your parents grow old But either way, you gotta let 'em go If you get lucky, you'll get half of what you wanted But hope you find the light before it calls you home Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark Trippin' while you're wishin' on a fallin' star But hey, you'll learn to love your scars Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart If you get lucky (if you get lucky) Yeah, if you get lucky (ah, ah, ah) Oh, if you get lucky (if you get lucky, ah, ah, ah)
