Verse 1
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
Don’t think a thing of it
When they call you crazy
Chorus
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
Verse 2
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 Joneses got it better
I hope come back down to reality
Some nights are gonna last forever
The bravest of hearts, baby
They stay together now
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Oohh, If you get lucky
(If you get lucky)
Yeah, If you get lucky

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

Just before she leaves for college out of state
Your big dreams are gonna look hazy
Don’t think a thing of it
When they call you crazy
[Chorus]
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
