LyricsI got an itch I got a feeling, wanna meet in the street tomorrowHad ENOUGH, being Locked up IN-SIDE todayLet the golden sun shine down, cast our shadowsYou want anything, babe, you can have your way
And as we wade into the evening city lights are gonna shineChoose to use a little hustle Let the city do our bidding tonightCome what may, nothing to lose, but to choose, do or die, win or loseNo Excuse, just get loose What if all hell breaks loose?We should be so luckySo LUCKY, my babe, she get me HIGH3rd st, 3rd st, got to find my baby on 3rd st…
Need a new change of clothes, hug the curb real close past drug slingin’ rougesPacking so much heat, no no need to die todayHope to make some time, hop off the subway lineWalking east to west, hu-up from 125thWhen I see you, pretty babe, gonna make my day
And as we wade into the evening city lights are gonna shineChoose to use a little hustle Let the city do our bidding tonightCome what may, nothing to lose, but to choose, do or die, win or loseNo Excuse, just get loose What if all hell breaks loose?We should be so luckySo LUCKY, my babe, she get me HIGH3rd st, 3rd st, got to find my baby on 3rd st…
I got an itch I got a feeling, won’t leave the bed till tomorrowI got my love right here in our birthday suits todayLet the golden sun shine down, cast our shadowsYou want anything, babe, you can have your way
And as we wade into the evening city lights are gonna shineChoose to use a little hustle Let the city do our bidding tonightCome what may, nothing to lose, but to choose, do or die, win or loseNo Excuse, just get loose What if all hell breaks loose?We should be so luckySo LUCKY, my babe, she get me HIGH3rd st, 3rd st, got to find my baby on 3rd st…
About the SongSo Lucky is yet another homage to NYC. Some of my fondest memories were meeting friends in the summer months up at Grant’s Tomb. I lived at the bottom of the hill on 123rd Street in between Morningside and Manhattan. As you walked out of my apartment, you could see Grant’s Tomb up on top of the hill. So many memories. It’s also one of my all time favorite songs to sing and play. I love Dan’s bass line, Mikes beat, and when Mike Pritchard is playing, his keyboard gymnastics.
About the Live Video:As with previous shows, I’m going to release a song a week until the complete show is uploaded and archived on Substack. This concert is being released in support of the new single “Perpetual Change” (released on November 8, 2024). We started video taping and recording our live shows consistently in 2023, when I took over the live sound. Prior to that the recording sound quality was a bit spotty.
