Lucky-Me Sandwich

All words and music ©2002, 2020 by John Speckine This is a song written specifically for the band I was in at the time, for an upcoming date to open for Keith Urban and Montgomery-Gentry. Based loosely on actual events, the "true" part of the story ends with the dancing. LONG ago, and only one night, I danced with a Chicago Bears Cheerleader and her best friend, a professional rodeo barrel racer, with me in the middle - a LUCKY-ME SANDWICH. (I was MUCH younger and more limber at the time). Everything after that is a blatant lie. :) LYRICS: Sittin' on a bar stool just the other night Had a couple drinks and I was feelin' right When in through the door walked a blonde and brunette I didn't know 'em, hadn't met 'em yet But it don't matter which one I choose I got nothin' to lose I see 'em take a table, sittin' all alone I figure that's the way I'm prob'ly goin' home But I'll walk on over and I'll ask one to dance She can only say "No"; I guess I'll take a chance It don't matter which one I choose I got nothin' to lose I got nothin' to lose I got nothin' to lose If that's the way you look at things Nothin' ever give you the blues I think I'll prob'ly end up all alone tonight But one of them gals might wanna hold me tight It don't matter which one I choose I got nothin' to lose When I got to their table, I stoped and said, "Ma'am, would you care to dance?" They both said "Yeah." The music was slow They both stood and each took my hand They had a lucky-me sandwich They made me glad I'm a man I got nothin' to lose I got nothin' to lose If that's the way you look at things Nothin' ever give you the blues I was thinkin' that I'd prob'ly be alone tonight But these little ladies gonna treat me right It don't matter which one I choose I got nothin' to lose BREAK I got nothin' to lose I got nothin' to lose If that's the way you look at things Nothin' ever give you the blues I was thinkin' that I'd prob'ly be alone tonight But these little ladies gonna treat me right It don't matter which one I choose I got nothin' to lose No, it don't matter which one I choose I got nothin' to lose Said, it don't matter which one I choose I got nothin' to lose A-haw-haw-haw-haw All words and music ©2002, 2016 by John Speckine
