You May Already Be a Winner — текст песни (John Hiatt)

Dry your eyes pretty girl

I just got news from the outside world

I dont know how they got our names

But yesterday this letter came:



Mr. and mrs. resident dweller, your lucky number is

You may already be a winner



Ive suspected this for years

Still in all its good to hear

Theyre pulling for us in the post

To you my dear, I raise this toast



A house of our dreams, an el dorado, a ten-speed blender

You may already be a winner



Now Ive never counted my chickens before theyre hatched

And I know there is always a catch

But Ive felt from the start that our hearts were the perfect match



I know youre tired of the same old dress

I know the cars been repossessed

I know this house is just a shack

But theres this love we cant hold back



Would you like a beer with your tv dinner?

Oh, my darling, you may already be a winner
