Lucky Forever

Last night I took my family to the Sioux Falls Rib Fest to see a concert with Blue Oyster Cult. It was a really great show with the skies above threatening to come down in a fierce storm. There were thunderheads all around as the sun went down and even during the show you could see lightening. The effect was pretty cool, and the power of the show seemed to keep at bay any rain, more than just a few stray drops carried by the wind.



I do enjoy concerts of the eighties bands: however, they often leave me feeling just a bit melancholic. You see I used to have a band during the eighties and early nineties as well. We were called “Lucky” and we were all original. For me there would be no other way to be. The key board player, Lynn Albers and myself wrote the music for the band. It was very pop style with a great deal of variety. We had a trademark sound.


Anyway, this morning when I got up, I was still thinking about the show last night. I grabbed one of my guitars (yes, I still do play once in awhile), and I began messing around with it. As I began playing what could be considered our theme song, Lucky Forever, I got to thinking these lyrics have a very good message that I would like to share with you. They speak of going after your dreams, which just happens to fit right in with this blog.


So here they are, and sorry you don’t get to hear the music as well, but enjoy them just the same.




Lucky Forever


It’s a feeling

You know so well

When you feel it

You’re under a spell

You can do it

You know you can

Because you’re Lucky

Lucky Forever

When You’re Lucky

You never say never

You’re feeling too clever

Don’t you know it?




You’re Lucky Forever (repeat four times)




You’ve got what it takes

Your spirits are high

You spread your wings

You’re ready to fly

You aim for the stars

So far away

Let go of the anchor

You’re on your way!



It’s a feeling

You know it so well

When you feel it

You’re under its spell

Can you do it?

You know that you can

Because you’re Lucky

Lucky Forever

When you’re Lucky

You never say never

You’re feeling too clever

Don’t you know it?

You’re just plain…




Lucky Forever (repeat four times)




You’ve got all you want

With plenty of friends

When the money’s no problem

The fun never ends

When you’re Lucky

Lucky Forever

Wherever you go

The spotlight’s on you

So begin the show

Show us what you do!

It’s a feeling

You know it so well

When you feel it

You’re under the spell

You can do it

And you do it so well

Because you’re Lucky

Lucky Forever

When You’re Lucky

You never say never

You’re too damn clever

Don’t you know

That you’re just plain…


Lucky Forever (repeat four times)
