Lucky Break Lyrics

She was a waitress workin' seven days a week

From nine to five she'd work the tables all alone

She had three children of her own to raise, the youngest plays hide'n'seek

She's home for twenty minutes 'til she's gone

Cause she's gotta make a livin' since her man took off to Arkansas

Chasin' old flames, playin' his games, and breakin' her heart

Cause she's a strong girl, and she'll only get stronger

If she holds on for a little bit longer

And keeps smilin' every mornin' that she wakes

She had a rough start but with enough heart

She's gonna get through it all if she just stays smart

She's taken more than anyone should ever take

And she'll keep holdin' on for the day she gets her lucky break

Now she's a full-time college lady with dreams of better days

And she does her to best to keep her head held high

She's gotta make rent so she'll take on any job that keeps her paid

Whatever she can get is another month that she gets by

Cause she's gotta make a livin' since her man took off to Arkansas

Chasin' old flames, playin' his games, and breakin' her heart

Cause she's a strong girl, and she'll only get stronger

If she holds on for a little bit longer

And keeps smilin' every mornin' that she wakes

She had a rough start but with enough heart

She's gonna get through it all if she just stays smart

She's taken more than anyone should ever take

And she'll keep holdin' on for the day she gets her lucky break

And she ain't seem him in so long,

Til the day he showed his face outside her door

Sayin' honey I missed you, I shoulda never done you wrong

And she said, baby I don't need you anymore

Cause she's a strong girl, and she'll only get stronger

If she holds on for a little bit longer

And keeps smilin' every mornin' that she wakes

She had a rough start but with enough heart

She's gonna get through it all if she just stays smart

She's taken more than anyone should ever take

And she'll keep holdin' on for the day she gets her lucky break

She'll keep holdin' on for the day she gets her lucky break
