Luckyville

The first cut on the CD Beach Bar Serenade, is the song "Luckyville"...which goes a little something like this. Oh, that's Roger in the picture...bet you can guess where some of Don's inspiration came from?

"Luckyville"
By Don Middlebrook

I met a one armed guy with a t-shirt on that said caution, I swim in circles
He laughed about his short drawn straw of life
He said nothin in this world’s for certain
I don’t need a million dollars or a mansion on the hill
With every beat of my heart, I live in Luckyville

CHORUS
I live in Luckyville where everyday is a souvenir
I live in Luckyville, I just thank God I’m here (raise your glass, raise your beer)
You’ll never find it on a map
It’s oh so much bigger than that
Sits right beside your heart and beside your soul
And with every beat of my heart, I live in Luckyville

The next night I saw him on his Harley, sillouetted against the moonlight
He was pickin up his girl, looking for a little fun, hopin for a halter top Saturday night
I gave him a high five as he jumped on his ride, and I watched him blast down the road
And I swear that’s when my heart got bigger and I changed my zip code

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Did I fail to mention there’s no tropical depression or hurricanes to chase you down
It’s a state of mind with no borderlines, won’t you join me in this sweet little town

CHORUS
