Lottery Ticket - Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

Can’t write another song about being young

Not me, not now, I’m not that clever

31 and my voice was shot

Grew a beard, spent a year at the coffee shop

You called to say «it's now or never»

Don’t fall back now

Don’t fall back now

We are the fortunate ones

(Pick me up in the parking lot

I’ve got a good buzz and a lottery ticket)

We are the fortunate ones

(And we don’t care if we win or not

Got a good buzz and a lottery ticket)

Guess I’ll wait for the lightning strike

Guess I’ll pray for rain to make this right

You’ve got these eyes that keep me hoping

In the shadows when I doubt myself, I’ve started to see with the lights out

You called to say «the sky is open»

Don’t fall back now, don’t fall back now

We are the fortunate ones

(Pick me up in the parking lot

I’ve got a good buzz and a lottery ticket)

We are the fortunate ones

(And we don’t care if we win or not

Got a good buzz and a lottery ticket)

Made it home, barely alive

I was way too fucked up to drive, to drive

We are the fortunate ones

Pick me up in the parking lot, I’ve got a good buzz and a lottery ticket

We are the fortunate ones

And we don’t care if we win or not, got a good buzz and a lottery ticket

Got a good buzz, and a lottery ticket
