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

Tripping while you're wishing on a falling 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 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

The bravest of hearts, babe

They stay together now

Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark

Tripping while you're wishing on a falling 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

Tripping while you're wishing on a falling star

But hey, you'll learn to love your scars

Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart

If you get lucky

Yeah, if you get lucky

Oh, if you get lucky
