American Aquarium - The Luckier You Get lyrics

The harder you work, the luckier you get
The more you get done, boy
The less you'll regret
Write it down so you never forget
The harder you work, the luckier you get
The harder you work, the luckier you get

When I turned thirteen
My old man sat me down he said, "Boy
There's only two ways out of this town
A Greyhound bus that's boot camp-bound
Or put your nose is a book and
Keep your ear to the ground"

"the harder you work, the luckier you get
The more you get done, boy
The less you'll regret
Write it down so you never forget
The harder you work, the luckier you get"

So I set off to college
But it weren't for me
So I bought a guitar and
Started playin' for free
Wrote a couple hundred bad ones 'til
I had two or three
That I thought were good enough folks
Might pay me to sing

The harder you work, the luckier you get
The more you get done, boy
The less you'll regret
Write it down so you never forget
The harder you work, the luckier you get
The harder you work, the luckier you get

I've heard far less "Yes"s than I have "No"s
Seen far less highs than I have lows
I'd rather get to the top steady and slow
Than end up there too fast with nowhere to go

The harder you work, the luckier you get
The more you get done, boy
The less you'll regret
Write it down so you never forget
The harder you work, the luckier you get
The harder you work, the luckier you get

The harder you work, the luckier you get
The more you get done, boy
The less you'll regret
Write it down so you never forget
The harder you work, the luckier you get
The harder you work, the luckier you get
