Drunken fool all his life
Got 9 kids, 3 by his wife
If it wasn’t for that government check
His life would have been an even bigger train wreck

One day he found a fiver in a thicket
Hit the market, and he bought himself a lottery ticket
Found himself on a winning streak
Now he’s a white trash millionaire on easy street

That’s the kind of dumb luck
That’s the kind of dumb luck I need
Tired of squeezing a dollar until it bleeds
That’s the kinda dumb luck I need

She was dumb as a post
But she was hotter than most
Pretty soon she figured out what they were after

Then some rich fool walked in the club
And he fell madly in love
Now she ain’t even gotta be a dancer

That’s the kind of dumb luck
That’s the kind of dumb luck I need
Tired of squeezing a dollar until it bleeds
That’s the kinda dumb luck I need

Some people just seem to get it all handed to them by a cold and indifferent universe
Other people, like me, try so hard all their lives but everything they do just seems to make it worse

Some punk kid from Ohio
Whose video went viral
From another drunken karaoke night
Now he’s sponsored by Coors
For his stadium tours
Ain’t never touched a guitar in his life

That’s the kind of dumb luck
That’s the kind of dumb luck I need
Tired of squeezing a dollar until it bleeds
That’s the kinda dumb luck I need
