Lyrics
PLAYIN' ME SOME BLACKJACK THE OTHER NIGHT
BET A STACK OF CHIPS THE COLOR OF "YOU BETTER BE RIGHT."
DREW A QUEEN AND A FIVE AND I THOUGHT I WAS DEAD
BUT BEFORE I SAID "HIT ME," LIZZIE SHOOK HER HEAD
SO I STOOD PAT AND THE DEALER WENT BUST
AND I WAS STARIN' AT A MOUNTAIN OF "IN GOD WE TRUST."
IT'S NOT 'CAUSE I'M A GENIUS
IT'S NOT 'CAUSE I'M A SAINT.
I'M JUST THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE...
UNTIL THE DAY I AIN'T.
I WAS PLAYIN' MY GUITAR, WHEN MY BABY WAILED
THE LORD GOT HIS THUMB ON THAT OL' RICHTER SCALE
AND THE HOUSE WAS SHAKIN' AND RATTLED AND ROLLED
LIKE IT WAS BIG JOE TURNER AT MUSSEL SHOALS
AND THE FLOOR OPENED UP WITH A MIGHTY CRACK
SPOUTIN' OIL LIKE NIAGARA FALLS LYIN' ON ITS BACK
IT'S NOT 'CAUSE I'M A GENIUS
IT'S NOT 'CAUSE I'M A SAINT.
I'M JUST THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE...
UNTIL THE DAY I AIN'T.
LIGHTNING CAN'T STRIKE ME
SNAKE AIN'T GONNA BITE ME
GASOLINE WILL NOT IGNITE ME
DON'T THINK TWICE, JUST ROLL THE DICE.
IT'S NOT 'CAUSE I'M A GENIUS
IT'S NOT 'CAUSE I'M A SAINT.
IM JUST THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE...
UNTIL THE DAY I AIN'T.
