RATHER BE LUCKY THAN GOOD

Many a card been dealt on the table
Many a good man has lost his last dime
Many a talented person has faded
Many the expert has turned to the wine
 
If life would only give me two choices
Then I guess that I would 
Disregard the expertise notations
Rather be lucky than good
Rather be lucky than good
 
Came to a crossroad destiny’s solution
Shaky smile told me which way to go
Racing heartbeat, drum pounding cadence 
Fate had touch the water of my soul
 
Met a lot of widows whose husbands had faded
Headstone epitaph all read the same
Here lies a good man talent and jaded
Never known a lucky man to die in vain 
 
If life would only give me two choices
Then I guess that I would 
Disregard the all the expertise notation
Rather be lucky than good
Rather be lucky than good
