The Lotto Way
Song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro
A relyric of the song "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers and Skip Scarborough, which I do not own.
Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance!
VERSE 1
As I’m driving in a pensive mood,
Money troubles cloud my mind.
I’m choosing between rent and food,
More money I must find.
CHORUS
At the corner store,
The beer girl calls out to me:
“What’s you waiting for?
One buck might just set you free,
The lotto way……” [held out]
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
The lotto way……” [held out]
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
VERSE 2
And I see a dollar lying there,
Green, on the sidewalk ahead.
I hesitate to pick it up,
Doesn’t buy a load of bread.
CHORUS
At the corner store,
The beer girl calls out to me:
“What’s you waiting for?
One buck might just set you free,
The lotto way……” [held out]
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
The lotto way……” [held out]
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
VERSE 3
When the jackpots small I’m holding out.
Just a couple bucks I’ll play.
But when it’s past a hundred mill
Then I’m in all the way.
CHORUS
At the corner store
The beer girl calls out to me
“What’s you waiting for?
One buck might just set you free
The lotto way"
VERSE 4
When we play in teams you know we sense,
More camaraderie at work.
But if numbers match this job’s past tense.
Austin’s where we’ll go berserk.
CHORUS
At the corner store
The beer girl calls out to me
“What’s you waiting for?
One buck might just set you free
The lotto way.”
VERSE 5
Heading south bound on I-35.
Soon a Vanderbilt I’ll be.
I signed up for that lump sum deal,
Cause waiting’s not for me.
CHORUS
At the corner store
The beer girl calls out to me
“What’s you waiting for?
One buck might just set you free
The lotto way……” [held out]
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
The lotto way……” [held out]
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
Lottery, lottery, lottery.
Lottery.
The End
