winning ticket
Girl, you found me down at the five-and-dime,Broke-down truck, just killin’ time.You came up to me, we talked a while,Your friend bet ten bucks you couldn’t make me smile.
That ten-dollar bet, hope you never regret,’Cause the way you made me feel, I ain’t forgot it yet.I was runnin’ on fumes, last mile of the road,Then you showed up laughin’, eased my soul.
I got a winning ticket today, baby,Didn’t come from luck or maybe.Cashin’ in on a moment that saved me.Yeah, girl, you changed me.I was on my last mile, feelin’ worn and tired,Came outta nowhere just to see me smile.
We leaned on the hood as the sun went down,Talked about dreams in this one-horse town.You said, “Life don’t always let you choose,”I said, “Feels like it led me here to you.”
You wrote your number in the dust on my hood,Said, “Call me sometime,” like you knew I would.I watched you drive off, taillights fade,Didn’t know a stranger could make my day.

Ten dollars turned into fate that night,Funny how things work out rightIf that truck never broke, I’d still be lost,Tryin’ to outrun a heart I almost lost.
Yeah, I got a winning ticket today, baby,Stamped in time at a five-and-dime, maybe.From a spark I never saw comin’, girlTurned a broke-down night into a brighter world.I was on my last mile, thought love had expired,Then you came along just to see me smile.
So here’s to ten-dollar bets and chance that pays,And a broke-down truck on a lucky day.
