"Lucky You" is an unreleased song by American singer and songwriter Taylor Swift. The song was allegedly the first song Swift wrote when she was only twelve years old, and it was released through a promo CD with the B-side single "Smokey Black Nights" by American record label Leesport in 2003.[2]
Background[]
The enlivening country song “Lucky You” is considered the first of countless tracks Swift has written. The lyrics share a positive outlook on the life of a girl named Lucky, who lives without any worries.[3] A computer repairman showed Taylor how to play her first three chords (c,d and g) on the guitar. She then created her first song, Lucky You, that night.[4] It was said to be inspired by her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Finlay.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
There's a little girl in this little town
With a little too much heart to go around
Live forever, never say never
You can do better, that's what she says
[Chorus]
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
of The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says, "Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do"
Lucky you
Lucky you
"Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do"
[Verse 2]
She sings her little song
She walks along a little
Pathway headed for the skies
Left her travels, lies, they unravel
Mind over matter, that's what she says
[Chorus]
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says, "Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do"
Lucky you
Lucky you
Lucky you
"Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do"
[Bridge]
Maybe she'll sing, "You-do-do-do-do
Maybe she'll bring you into the skies
Honey, she'll love you
Funny how some view
Angels above you, ain't so far away
[Chorus]
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says, "Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do"
Lucky you
Lucky you
