Beginner's luck
Lindalou and michael rygeWhen we used to help 'em out, or bring 'em to town, or take their trash away
And now we find, after they've passed away
They left us this old house, where we live today
Beginner's luck, I can't believe it - Beginners luck, what did you say
Beginner's luck, you've got to be kidding - Beginner's luck, ...O.K....
I can't quite hear you honey but I don't wanna make you shout
So come a little closer darlin', so I can understand what you're talkin' about
And if you want to go, well I can take you home
'Cause at a time like this, I don't think I should leave you alone
Beginner's luck, smile like a baby - Beginner's luck, fly like a bird
Beginner's luck, run like a rabbit - Beginner's luck, just say the word
It isn't carved in stone, it's only cast in concrete
Nothin' you couldn't handle, with a few sledge hammer blows
But when things get ugly, and you've got to take a stand
Sometimes things just work out even better than you ever could have planned
Beginner's luck, cry like a baby - Beginner's luck, just say the word
Beginner's luck, talk to the lawyer - Beginner's luck, don't give 'em the bird
And in this part, when things get slow,
What do you say, well I don't know
But I remember clearly, Morry used to say
Nine out of ten things you worry about never happen anyway
Beginner's luck, just look at that pitcher - Beginner's luck, swing that bat
Beginner's luck, run around the bases - Beginner's luck, forget about the hat
Then old John Picardi said to Lindalou,
Do you know how to play the mandolin Miss Lou? I'll tell you what I'll do
See I got this old one that I don't play anymore
And if you give me a hundred dollars, you can take it out the door.
Beginner's luck, not just for children - Beginner's luck, the young and the old
Beginner's luck, Every day you start over - Beginner's luck, the story is told
