Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness
Lottery Ticket
[Verse 1]
I guess I'll wait for the words to come
Can't write another song about being young
Not me, not now, I'm not that clever
31 and my voice was shot
Grew a beard, spent a year at the coffee shop
You called to say "it's now or never"
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't fall back now
Don't fall back now
[Chorus]
We are the fortunate ones
(Pick me up in the parking lot
I've got a good buzz and a lottery ticket)
We are the fortunate ones
(And we don't care if we win or not
Got a good buzz and a lottery ticket)
[Verse 2]
Guess I'll wait for the lightning strike
Guess I'll pray for rain to make this right
You've got these eyes that keep me hoping
In the shadows when I doubt myself, I've started to see with the lights out
You called to say "the sky is open"
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't fall back now, don't fall back now
[Chorus]
We are the fortunate ones
(Pick me up in the parking lot
I've got a good buzz and a lottery ticket)
We are the fortunate ones
(And we don't care if we win or not
Got a good buzz and a lottery ticket)
[Bridge]
Made it home, barely alive
I was way too fucked up to drive, to drive
[Chorus]
We are the fortunate ones
Pick me up in the parking lot, I've got a good buzz and a lottery ticket
We are the fortunate ones
And we don't care if we win or not, got a good buzz and a lottery ticket
Got a good buzz, and a lottery ticket
