[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
If I get lucky and just make my train for home
If I ever get lucky and make my train for home
I believe I will leave this town
And I ain't comin' back no more
[Verse 2]
My mother told me: "J.B. you'd better watch your step"
My mother sat down and told me: "J.B. you'd better watch your step"
One day you may fall down and you gon' need somebody's help
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wonder what in the world gon' become of me
Sometimes I's just sit and wonder what in the world gon' become of me
Will I be livin' here on Earth, or will I be livin' misery
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
If I get lucky
