Tell It to the Breadline

Get Lucky icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 09 from the eponymous LP by Mark Knopfler icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

I’m better with my muscles than I am with my mouth
I work the fairgrounds in the summer or go pick fruit down south

And when I feel them chilly winds, where the weather goes I’ll follow
Pack up my traveling things and go with the swallows
And I might get lucky now and then

You win some
You might get lucky now and then
You win some

I wake up every morning keeping an eye on what I spent
Gotta think about eating
Gotta think about paying the rent

I always think it’s funny
It gets me every time
I wonder about the happiness and money
Tell it to the breadline
But you might get lucky now and then

You win some
You might get lucky now and then
You win some

Now I’m rambling through this meadow happy as a man can be
Think I’ll just lay me down under this old tree
On and on we go through this old world of shuffling
If you got a truffle, dog, you can go truffling
And you might get lucky now and then

You win some
You might get lucky now and then
You win some
