Runnin' down the highway half-past eleven   Waitin' for my odometer to roll straight sevens   I'm a lucky man   I went to see the gypsy the other night   She looked in my palm, looked me in the eye   And said "you're a lucky man"      "some folks got fortune, some got eyes of blue   What you got will always see you through   You're a lucky man"   Pa went from the army to the factory to the killin' yard   I make my living with my hands 'hind the wheel of this car   I'm a lucky man      Messin' with me, man, it wouldn't be wise   Roll them dice, son . . . snake eyes   I'm a lucky man      Had a girl in calgary, I gave her up   Man, that love thing was messin' with my luck   And I'm a lucky man   I'll wake up tomorrow morning in another state   Kiss me now, baby, before it's too late   If you wanna kiss a lucky man   I don't miss no girl, I don't miss no home   He travels fastest who travels alone   He's a lucky man   A man with the world in the palm of his hands
