Laura Overstreet: Have a listen
Never Win the Lottery
(Laura Overstreet)
Music and Lyrics by Laura Overstreet
Just think about it. . .I mean, wouldn't that be a drag?
Well I can’t believe you’re leaving, I can’t believe you’d go
But before you get your bags packed there’s some things you ought to know
Well I hope you never win the lottery, I hope you catch everybody’s cold
I hope you’re broke and lonely when you get old
I hope the air in your pick-up truck gives out on a summer day
I hope you toss and turn and wish you never went away
Well I love you too much dear to wish you well
So darlin, out of love I wish you hell
Well I know that I’m not saying or thinking what I should
But when I start forgetting you I’ll be good
Well I can’t just smile about it, I can’t just let you be
You need to have a bad time like the one you’re giving me
Well I hope your plumbing starts leaking
I hope your crummy boss won’t quit
And when you tell your family that you left, they all throw a fit
I hope you have to start wearing glasses, I hope you start losing all your hair
I hope you look at my side of the bed and wish I was there
Well I really hope lady luck will frown on you
I really wish I had better thangs to do, than
Hope you never win the lottery, hope you catch everybody’s cold
I hope you’re broke and lonely when you get old
I hope the air in your pick-up truck gives out on a summer day
I hope you toss and turn and wish you never went away
I hope you never win the lottery, I hope you never win the lottery
I hope you never win the lottery
