Down In The Lucky Country
Standing on the corner with the sunlight in my eyes
The streets are full of brown-skinned girls and yellow beachfront signs
The radio plays the horses, the announcer calls 'em out
They got bets each way on a losing streak and the boys are leaving town
We're doing fine in the lucky country
Doing alright 'cause we're making money
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
Alright
Mona sits on the doorstep, her dress between her knees
It's a lousy life if a girl can only live for the Roaring Twenties
"Those were the days", I heard her say, "When the trams ran down to the sea
You could go to the dance every Saturday night and never have to leave"
We're doing fine in the lucky country
Doing alright 'cause we're making money
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
People building up impossible walls and they call it home sweet home
They buy up false security and force it on their sons
But they'll get by
We're doing fine in the lucky country
Doing alright 'cause we're making money
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
We're goin' down to the lucky country
We're goin' down to the lucky country
We're goin' down to the lucky country
(Down in the lucky country)
Oh, down to the lucky country
Down to the lucky country
We're goin' down (down in the lucky country)
The streets are full of brown-skinned girls and yellow beachfront signs
The radio plays the horses, the announcer calls 'em out
They got bets each way on a losing streak and the boys are leaving town
We're doing fine in the lucky country
Doing alright 'cause we're making money
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
Alright
Mona sits on the doorstep, her dress between her knees
It's a lousy life if a girl can only live for the Roaring Twenties
"Those were the days", I heard her say, "When the trams ran down to the sea
You could go to the dance every Saturday night and never have to leave"
We're doing fine in the lucky country
Doing alright 'cause we're making money
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
People building up impossible walls and they call it home sweet home
They buy up false security and force it on their sons
But they'll get by
We're doing fine in the lucky country
Doing alright 'cause we're making money
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
Down in the lucky country
We're goin' down to the lucky country
We're goin' down to the lucky country
We're goin' down to the lucky country
(Down in the lucky country)
Oh, down to the lucky country
Down to the lucky country
We're goin' down (down in the lucky country)
