lyrics

Good fortune keep my head above the water
Momma wanted more for her only daughter
Some days I barely keep from going under
Is it any wonder I don’t… any wonder I don’t

Up and leave the life I’m living in this damn town
I ain’t asking for a castle and a gold crown
Just an acre I can stake and call my own
Some place to call my home

Good fortune won’t you smile
And shine some luck on me
I’m earning each and every mile
But despite all the hours I keep
I’m barely making ends meet

Wasn’t long ago, I had some big dreams
Only so long I can keep on swimming upstream
Counting tips and clearing tables on the third shift
Sometimes I need a lift, you know I might need a lift

Black coffee at the crack of dawn
Tank’s empty and the engine light’s on
I don’t know much longer I can hold on

Good Fortune looks up at me with her blue eyes
And a smile you know money can’t buy
It’s not the riches but the little seeds you sow
Sit back and watch them grow
