What if good luck travels slower than an aeroplane
Or a tractor out upon the old freeway
Or a train rumblin' through a mountain pass
Or an ocean liner crossin' oceans wide and vast

What if good luck moves like the ebbing tide
Or a crumbling mountain side
Like a rock and sand falling through holy hands
I can only hope that you can understand

Sometimes you've gotta stick around
When you've struck out and your chips are down
You wanna leave when you've had enough
Slow down take a few steps back
You don't need to move on so fast
Gotta give some time to let the good luck catch you up

What if good luck got hung up yesterday
But now it's knocking at your door what will you say
Best to meet it with a grin, welcome it on in
Like a long lost friend that's been so long away

Sometimes you've gotta stick around
When you've struck out and your chips are down
You wanna leave when you've had enough
Slow down take a few steps back
You don't need to move on so fast
Gotta give some time to let the good luck catch you up

Sometimes you've gotta stick around
House to house and town to town
Gotta give some time to let the good luck catch you up
