Lucky Strike
Jay Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I met her on a Sunday
Last day on the tour
She played me with liquor
In that little town up north
She had hair a little ombre
When she said hey what's your number""
She reminded me of you
It was roses it was chocolates
Sweet Champagne and Chardonnay
Ridin' every other weekend
On that lonesome midnight train
Everything was hunky dory
I went head first and all in
I was thinking she just might
Be my lucky strike
And I said oh my oh my
We're gonna last forever
Oh my oh my
Let's run away together
Oh my oh my
You're gonna make it better
You and me for life
You're my lucky strike
Then she told to quit smoking
And quit your drinking cold turkey
And my video game addiction
But I said hey that's not me
And then I started thinking
On that lonesome midnight train
So I poured myself a Bourbon
To wash my headaches away
And when you texted me that Friday night
Said you missed me can we make it right
I realized where I belong
I said babe, I'm coming home
And then you lit up my cigarette
And poured me a glass of wine
I said you know what I like
Oh my you're my lucky strike
And I said oh my oh my
We're gonna last forever
Oh my oh my
Let's run away together
Oh my oh my
You're gonna make it better
You and me for life
You're my lucky strike
Oh my oh my
We're gonna last forever
Oh my oh my
Let's run away together
Oh my oh my
You're gonna make it better
You and me for life
You're my lucky strike
Oh my oh my
We're gonna last forever
Oh my oh my
Let's run away together
Oh my oh my
You're gonna make it better
You and me for life
You're my lucky strike

I met her on a Sunday
I saw her for the first time on a Sunday
Last day on the tour
It was the final day of my tour
She played me with liquor
She made me drink alcohol
In that little town up north
It was a small town in the northern part
She had hair a little ombre
Her hair color was a shaded blend
And a butterfly tattoo
She had a tattoo of a butterfly
When she said hey what's your number
When she asked for my phone number
She reminded me of you
She made me think of you
It was roses it was chocolates
She gave me roses and chocolates
Sweet Champagne and Chardonnay
We drank Champagne and Chardonnay
Ridin' every other weekend
We used to ride every other weekend
On that lonesome midnight train
We used to ride a train at midnight
Everything was hunky dory
Everything was going smoothly
I went head first and all in
I was fully committed
I was thinking she just might
I thought she could be the one
Be my lucky strike
Be the one to bring me good luck
And I said oh my oh my
I exclaimed with excitement
We're gonna last forever
Our love will continue for eternity
Let's run away together
Let's escape together
You're gonna make it better
You will improve my life
You and me for life
We will be together forever
You're my lucky strike
You bring me good luck
Then she told to quit smoking
She asked me to stop smoking
And quit your drinking cold turkey
And stop drinking immediately
And my video game addiction
And my addiction to playing video games
But I said hey that's not me
But I said that's not who I am
And then I started thinking
I began to ponder
So I poured myself a Bourbon
I poured myself some Bourbon
To wash my headaches away
To alleviate my headaches
And when you texted me that Friday night
When you messaged me on Friday night
Said you missed me can we make it right
Said that you missed me and wanted to make things right
I realized where I belong
I realized where my place was
I said babe, I'm coming home
I told her that I was going home to her
And then you lit up my cigarette
You lit up my cigarette for me
And poured me a glass of wine
And poured me a glass of wine
I said you know what I like
I told her that she knew what I liked
Oh my you're my lucky strike
You bring me good luck
Oh my oh my
I exclaimed with excitement
We're gonna last forever
Our love will continue for eternity
Let's run away together
Let's escape together
You're gonna make it better
You will improve my life
You and me for life
We will be together forever
You're my lucky strike
You bring me good luck
