Lottery Blues

lottery fever is hitting the land I’m sure it’s hitting sailors at sea too let’s face it life’s no Fantasy Island when it comes to lottery have no clue yet I see and hear about the winners just like the track and casino they’ll play churches have their bingo we’re not sinners if wife or I win we’re at Tampa Bay at times my wife really wants to win big and it affects me when she’s feeling hurt I know she would love to own a big rig one thing for sure I know I won’t lose shirt if you’re a player I wish you good luck my luck’s been costing me more than a buck

Thank you, Constance. You're so right "joys and agony" and this being Super Bowl Sunday there'll be plenty of that today.
