Ashley AuCoin - Fools Get Lucky Lyrics

Fools Get Lucky (John Gillis)

Outside the leaves were falling

She took one last look out the window 

They left a tip on the table 

As the waiter filled his tray

And with autumn's first frost falling

Upon the slippery small town sidewalk

She could see her breath on the windshield

She could feel twilights cool embrace 


She said the heart is a lonely hunter

He said I don’t see that matters 

She thought Lord loving Jesus, here I go again

He said my heart are reckless gambler

And it ain’t always a winner

She said I’m not talking about winning

I’m talking about how we played the game


I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight

So don’t ask me any questions, and I won’t tell you any lies

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight


Through a trail of love and sorrow

Choose a twisted path to follow

Many are the wise men

Who have fallen along the way

And sometimes fools get lucky

And make it all look so damn easy

Sometimes a good cup of coffee

It’ll get you through the day


I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight

So don’t ask me any questions, and I won’t tell you any lies

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight


Well the waiters have you wondering

About the couple at the table

They’d really love to tell you

About what went down last night

But rumors they’ve been known

To blow hearts to bits and pieces

And if the wind could only whisper

It would sometimes start a fight


I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight 

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight

So don’t ask me any questions, I won’t tell you any lies

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight 


You might think, you’ve seen it all before

And I guess you’d know, you’ve been around

You might say, that the night’s still young

But I’ve seen morning, sneaking around


She said the heart is a lonely hunter

He said I don’t see how that matters

She thought, Lord, loving Jesus 

Here I go again

And the years rolled by like thunder

Now sometimes she still wonders

How the chips they might’ve fallen

If a different card was played


I don’t know about it, I don’t know about anything tonight

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight

So don’t ask me any questions and I won’t tell you any lies

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight

I don’t know about, I don’t know about anything tonight
