She's So Lucky Lyrics

She lived her life in tennis shoes

All whites and baby blues

The cards were stacked towards her

So high they'll knock her over

Life from a magazine where every room is always clean

Her father is a good man, since she was born he had a plan

To keep her lucky

She'll take his old job at the firm

When the seasons start to turn

The path ahead is silver

So set in stone it kills her

One more summer free before the new branch meets the tree

Before she knows she's gone, she's packed her brand new silk sarong

To keep her lucky

She's so lucky with that head on those shoulders

Takes from her mother who was never scared to scold her

Each hair falls into line like soldiers

Oh she's so lucky

Her only dream was to swim in every sea

Then she meets a man behind a bar

Slinging drinks for a new guitar

They went travelling through Rome, she wants to stay but misses home

Spent their last day on the beach and bought a mermaid figurine

To keep them lucky

She's so lucky with that head on those shoulders

Takes from her mother who was never scared to scold her

Each hair falls into line like soldiers

Oh she's so lucky

The one thing she wants is the one thing out of reach

And now that little girl doesn't feel as blessed as she once seemed

Planes turn to trains into marble driveways

Now she feels

As unlucky as the black cats of midnight

A reformed man hit by a rouge lightning strike

Minds so far yet so alike

Oh, she's so lucky

Her new life isn't bad she just misses what she had

She swam in every sea, and made it home for tea

Drives home in her fancy car and meets a crinkled-edged postcard

A boy in a boatyard and his brand new twelve string guitar

He keeps her lucky
