LUCK OF THE DRAW
(Phil Brady)


Bonnie Raitt - 1991






You dust the bottles on the bar counter
You're writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin'
Sometimes it's good to lose your pride


These things we do to keep the flame burnin'
And write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the wheel turnin'
Another avenue to try


It's in the luck of the draw, Baby
The natural law
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
It's in the luck of the draw, Baby
The natural law (Flame keep on burnin')
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby (wheel ever turnin')


You turn around and say it's last orders
You fix the ribbon in your hair
Tomarrow's letter by the hall doorway
Could be the answer to your prayers
