"If You Get Lucky" lyrics

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
