Lucky One
Maddie Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know how it happened
to someone like me
to find the perfect boy
to sweep me off my feet
I guess I must have been extra good today
usually it's the other girls
the pretty ones that have a luck out world
the ones that never seem to make mistakes
but today
I'm the one who has a hand to hold
a gentleman who's got me sold
I'm living every girl's dream
I'm the one who can't sleep at night
'cause I can't keep you off my mind
I almost can't believe
that i'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Woke up this morning
to my alarm clock sreaming
was it real or was I dreaming
right now I swear I can't tell
I was on my way out the door
seen the daisy you gave me
the night before
and it all came rushin' back to me
and it all came rushin' back to me
yeah
I'm the one who has a hand to hold
a gentleman who's got me sold
I'm living every girl's dream
I'm the one who can't sleep at night
'cause I can't get you off my mind




I almost can't believe
that i'm the lucky one
the lucky one
oh oh the lucky one
it's finally me
I'm the one who has a hand to hold
a gentleman who's got me sold
I'm living every girl's dream
yeah yeah
I'm the one who can't sleep at night
'cause I can't get you off my mind
I almost can't believe
that i'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
the lucky one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maddie Wilson's song Lucky One describe the feeling of disbelief and overwhelming gratitude that comes with finding the perfect partner. The singer expresses surprise at their luck in finding someone who sweeps them off their feet, despite feeling like they don't deserve it. In a world where the pretty and perfect girls seem to always get what they want, the singer is amazed that they are the one with a hand to hold and a gentleman who's got them sold.


The second verse further emphasizes the dream-like quality of the singer's situation. They question whether it's real or just a dream that they have found someone so wonderful. The sight of a daisy given to them by their partner the night before brings it all crashing back to reality. The chorus repeats the sentiment of feeling incredibly lucky to have found a love that makes them feel like they're living every girl's dream.


One interesting thing to note about this song is that it was written by country singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini, who has had her own success with hits like "Love Me Like You Mean It". Additionally, Maddie Wilson's version of the song features a more pop-influenced sound compared to the country twang of Ballerini's original recording. The music video for Lucky One features Wilson performing the song against a bright and colorful backdrop, emphasizing the joy and excitement of the lyrics.

That's a really nice one.
I like the way its put together.
The chorus sections are nice.
There was one set of lyrics that I especially liked, its escaping me at this moment.

Mark Mocarski

I can't seem to find that...but it must have been the 2:00 section.
Listening again, it really is a charming song.
