WISH ME LUCK
1st VERSE:
Gettin' sick of maybe situations,
Where I am there's no way I could fall.
Climbin' on this horizontal ladder,
I ain't gettin' anywhere at all.
CHORUS:
SO WISH ME LUCK I'M ABOUT TO CUT THE TETHER.
I AIN'T LOOKIN' ANYWHERE BUT UP.
LEAVIN' ALL THE THINGS I HEARD WERE SO SECURE,
WISH ME LUCK, (wish me luck) WISH ME LUCK. (Wish me luck)
2nd VERSE:
Headin' out to paint myself a rainbow.
No more findin' empty pots of gold.
Fate has finally dealt the cards I wanted.
Play the hand I've got, I'll never fold.
CHORUS:
SO WISH ME LUCK I'M ABOUT TO CUT THE TETHER.
I AIN'T LOOKIN' ANYWHERE BUT UP.
LEAVIN' ALL THE THINGS I HEARD WERE SO SECURE,
WISH ME LUCK (wish me luck), WISH ME LUCK. (Wish me luck)
BRIDGE:
Nothin' ventured, nothing gained The overworked cliche.
Bet my future on myself, And hope a longshot pays.
SOLO:
Repeat 1st VERSE:
Gettin' sick of maybe situations,
Where I am there's no way I could fall.
Climbin' on this horizontal ladder,
I ain't gettin' anywhere at all.
CHORUS:
SO WISH ME LUCK I'M ABOUT TO CUT THE TETHER.
I AIN'T LOOKIN' ANYWHERE BUT UP.
LEAVIN' ALL THE THINGS I HEARD WERE SO SECURE,
WISH ME LUCK (wish me luck), WISH ME LUCK. (Wish me luck)
