And again sing with Mark Knopfler.

"Get Lucky"
I'm better with my muscles
Then I am with my mouth
I worked the fairgrounds in the summer
And go pick fruit down south

And when I feel them chilly winds
Where the weather goes I follow
Pack up my traveling things go with the swallows

And I might get lucky now and then
You win some, you might get lucky now and then
You win some

I wake up every morning
Keep on eye on what I spent
Gotta think about eating
Gotta think about paying the rent

I always think it's funny
It gets me every time
I wonder about the happiness and money
Tell it to the breadline

But you might get lucky now and then
You win some, you might get lucky now and then
You win some

Now I'm rambling through this meadow happy as a man can be
Think I just lay me down under this old tree
On and on we go through this old world of shuffling
If you got a truffle dog, you can go truffling

But you might get lucky now and then
You win some, you might get lucky now and then
You win some


The song was released in 2009 on his solo album of the same tittle.
Song was the childhood memories when,as a 15-year-old boy he met on his way of life a man which in winter sing in a soul band,looking for summer work on farms or in the fairgrounds.
Also mentions other people encountered in the past as working on constructions sites,farms,working in short-term work.
And makes you want to shout "This is me!"
And about you ride to another country for a bread,and you,young man,earning himself a holiday or to study,and you wanderer who does not like to get attached to places and you can find in any city.
Who knows?
But you can also win a little something like 133 million euros and do not need to be concerned about anything.
So what?
Can we play the lottery?
