Chris Quier - Jackpot in Texas Lyrics

Saw the sunrise over Austin and I felt that morning breeze
Bought a ticket at the station thought I'd try my luck with ease
Scratched it off beneath the oak tree heart a-pounding in my chest
Numbers lined up in perfection fate had granted me the best

Now I'm drivin' through the back roads in a brand-new Cadillac
From a beat-up rusted Chevy to a mansion 'cross the tracks
Got my boots and silver buckle feelin' lighter than the air
Freedom's sweeter than the bluebells there's no worry no despair

Jackpot in Texas it's a dream come true tonight
From the tumbleweeds and gravel to the city's neon lights
Rags to riches ain't no story it's the life I'm livin' now
With that Texas luck upon me I'm as high as heaven's brow

Bought a bar down in El Paso turned it into gold and shine
Friends and family all around me life's a grand old time
Got a smile for every sunrise got a laugh for every song
I was down and out but now I'm where I've always belonged

Jackpot in Texas it's a dream come true tonight
From the tumbleweeds and gravel to the city's neon lights
Rags to riches ain't no story it's the life I'm livin' now
With that Texas luck upon me I'm as high as heaven's brow

Every weekend at the rodeo folks they cheer my name
Used to be a simple cowboy now I'm known in every game
Luck's a lady and she found me gave this cowboy a new start
From the grit and all the gravel to a bright and hopeful heart
