I Won the Lottery

Verse 1

Every night when you’re dreaming

I get caught just staring at you

Brown skin glowing in the moonlight

Like the world got something right for once

Slender fingers, cello memories

Strings still ringing in my mind

I swear that bow must still remember

The way your hands could make it cry

Pre-Chorus

Sharp dark eyebrows, warning signs

But they frame those honey eyes

And when you smile, girl I lose it

Every single time

Chorus

I don’t need a million numbers

Don’t need a jackpot falling from the sky

I already hit the lottery

The day you walked into my life

We grew up, we grew wiser

Still laughing like we’re seventeen

I don’t believe in heaven above

But I believe in you and me

Yeah I won the lottery

Verse 2

Lunchroom floors and concrete mornings

Hard work in a pair of worn-out shoes

All the money that you’re earning

Somehow turns into our kids’ dreams too

Chocolate hair down on your shoulders

Feels like silk beneath my hand

You say you’re worried we’re getting older

Baby you don’t understand

Pre-Chorus

Soft skin, steady heart

You’ve been my shelter from the dark

And every Monday night

You still choose me

Chorus

I don’t need a million numbers

Don’t need a jackpot falling from the sky

I already hit the lottery

The day you walked into my life

Thirty years and counting

Still kissing like we’re under that tree

You say we should kiss more often

Don’t gotta tell me twice, Dee

Yeah I won the lottery

Bridge

Road trips, windows down

You singing loud, off-key and proud

High school girl with the biggest heart

Still got me spinning around

You didn’t want a roommate

You wanted a best friend

So we built a life on Monday nights

And we’d do it all again

Final Chorus

I don’t need a million numbers

Don’t need a spotlight shining on me

I already hit the lottery

Every time you smile at me

We grew up in the same small town

Now we’re growing old side by side

If this world’s got unconditional love

It’s sleeping right here tonight

Yeah I won the lottery

Yeah I won the lottery

Yeah I won the lottery with you
