Lyrics
Found a five-dollar bill in my winter coat Bought a scratch-off ticket at the Gas-N-Go Scraped it with a quarter on the hood of the truck Three little cherries in a row Now it ain't a fortune It ain't a house on the hill But I won forty dollars and I feel like a king Buy the whole crowd a round of anything Small luck, sweet luck, shining like a dime Forty dollar miracle on a Tuesday night Come on, spin me round, I'm feeling fine Small luck, sweet luck, it's mine all mine Cashier rang the bell like I'd robbed the bank Old man in the corner stood up to clap I bought him a coffee and a honey bun And we toasted to the luck on the map Now it ain't a fortune It ain't a house on the hill But I won forty dollars and I feel like a king Buy the whole crowd a round of anything Small luck, sweet luck, shining like a dime Forty dollar miracle on a Tuesday night Come on, spin me round, I'm feeling fine Small luck, sweet luck, it's mine all mine Some folks chase the big one all their lives I'll take the little win and the cherry-red grin Spent the whole thing on a dance and a slice of pie And I'd do it all over again Oh, the jackpot's a story for somebody else Mine's a coin and a laugh and a friend When the small things shine, you can tell the whole town That the good times don't have to end Yes I won forty dollars and I feel like a king Buy the whole crowd a round of anything Small luck, sweet luck, shining like a dime Forty dollar miracle on a Tuesday night Come on, spin me round, I'm feeling fine Small luck, sweet luck, it's mine all mine Three little cherries in a row Small luck, sweet luck, and a Tuesday glow
