If you get lucky, you'll get a shiner on your eye
From the playground bully in the second grade
And if you get lucky, she'll make a senior prom promise
Just before she leaves for college out of state
Your big dreams are gonna look hazy
But don't think a thing of it when they call you crazy
Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark
Trippin' while you're wishin' on a fallin' star
But hey, you'll learn to love your scars
Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart
If you get lucky (if you get lucky, ah, ah, ah)
If you get lonely, I hope you run across somebody
That makes you a little better than you used to be
And if you worry 'cause you think the Jones' got it better
I hope you come back down to reality
Some nights are gonna last forever
But the bravest of hearts, babe, they stay together now
Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark
Trippin' while you're wishin' on a fallin' star
But hey, you'll learn to love your scars
Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart
If you get lucky
If you get lucky, you'll watch your parents grow old
But either way, you gotta let 'em go
If you get lucky, you'll get half of what you wanted
But hope you find the light before it calls you home
Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark
Trippin' while you're wishin' on a fallin' star
But hey, you'll learn to love your scars
Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart
If you get lucky (if you get lucky)
Yeah, if you get lucky (ah, ah, ah)
Oh, if you get lucky (if you get lucky, ah, ah, ah)
