Ah, the temptation of winning the lottery. What if you did? Would your whole world turn upside down? That's the story behind this catchy and enjoyable song.
Lotto Dreams
If I won the lottery,
tell you what I’d do –
Buy a big fancy car –
one for me and you.
If I won the lottery
bills would go away.
Don’t need the job no more.
Say goodbye tired workdays.
Refrain
Lightning strikes the lucky,
makes it right as rain.
Whole lot of Lotto dreams
swirlin’ in my brain.
Ain’t no dreams at all
when you got no way to win.
Snowballs in hell can happen –
two bucks, a ticket in.
If I won the lottery,
I’d buy the place a round.
First one’s on me – yippie!
Share the luck I found.
Swimmin’ pool, fancy yacht,
big house, huge TV.
Party ‘til the cows come home
have a good time, yes siree!
(refrain)
Then relatives come a callin’
each wanting a little piece.
Some I never knew I had.
Whole world becomes unleashed!
Tax advisers, accountants.
IRS knocking at the door.
I liked the way it used to be.
Myself – when I was poor.
(refrain)
(Mid -8)
Lotto dreams not what they seem.
A perfect paradise.
Suddenly, I’m no longer me
if I won that Lotto prize.
I like my boring job,
buddies at the bar.
Just being one of the guys,
leaving my worries in a jar.
Guess I don’t need
Lotto dreams after all.
All that wealth would buy me
would mess it up, y’all!
Second Refrain
Lightning strikes the luckless,
takes its terrible toll.
Greedy Lotto dreams –
nightmares that unfold.
Careful what you wish for
‘cause it maybe could come true.
Snowballs in hell can happen –
hope it doesn’t happen to you!
Snowballs in hell can happen –
hope it doesn’t happen to you!
