Scared and lonely
Going out for the night
Shakin’ all over
And wishing I’d never
Come here

He pulled up in a cloud of smoke
So much was said
But nobody spoke a word

So I took a chance
And he followed me home
I knew he wouldn’t beg
So I gave in without fighting

Been so long since I’ve been this way
Since I loved this way
So I asked him if he would stay for a while

Lucky comes easy
Lucky’s not shy
And if you’re lucky
You’ll go for a ride
For a ride

We talked a while
And he told me nice
We laughed and we cried and
I knew that I could love him
He got up to say goodbye
I said where you going,
He said that he must leave

Lucky comes easy
Lucky’s not shy
And if you’re lucky
You’ll go for a ride
For a ride

Lucky comes easy
Lucky’s not shy
And if you’re lucky
You’ll go for a ride
For a ride

Lucky takes you out for a ride
For a ride
Lucky takes you out for a ride
For a ride

Lucky comes easy
Lucky’s not shy
And if you’re lucky
You’ll go for a ride

Lucky come easy
Lucky’s not shy
And if you’re lucky
You’ll go for a ride
For a ride
