Now they always called her lucky in that dusty little Texas town
D                                                              A
Where most folks dream of getting rich, she dreamed of getting out
G                                           D
At seventeen she took a Greyhound bus - Her family took it hard
D                                     F#m     A       D 
She wore her mama's dress and carried daddy's deck of cards

D                                             A       D
She got as far as a desert town with a lovely Spanish name
D                                                   A
In the back of a local cantina she found a friendly game
G                             D
Two smoky midnights later she owned a brand new car
D                          F#m     A       D 
With a little luck and her daddy's deck of cards

D                                      A        D
Her growing reputation made the desert seem too small
D                                                                    A
As one by one, she burned them down 'til she couldn't find a game at all
G                                     D
So she headed for Las Vegas where the big time dealers are
D                             F#m     A       D 
In a brand new dress with her daddy's deck of cards

BREAK:

D                                      A        D
She became a legend when she could not help but win
D                                                    A
But she felt one card missing as she sat across from him
G                                  D
He swore he was from Reno and on a bet he took her heart
D                      F#m     A       D 
And everything but her daddy's deck of cards

D                                                A     D
She followed him down to New Orleans the week of Mardi Gras
D                                                A
In a friendly game of poker she beat him to the draw
G                              D
In a case of Cajun justice she dropped him clean and hard
D                       F#m     A       D 
And buried him with her daddy's deck of cards

F#m                    D
They always called her lucky
