This must be my lucky day Oh what a beautiful boy's come my way Ain't nobody can offer protection To a man set on a resurrection
We've met before and I know his name Oh what a beautiful boy's come my way He don't need no introduction Got a well-known will for self-destruction
Ah what do I see in those eyes Green as crumbling mountainsides Grief-stricken hard and ready to make a deal
He's always been a gamblin' man But the stakes have never been So lethal
His hands are shaking but his back is straight Oh what a beautiful boy's come my way Two roads crossing in a field of wheat The stars are screaming but he don't heed I'm the only woman can give him what he needs
Somebody's lovely body's growing cold as clay Oh what a beautiful boy's come my way He ain't gonna worry 'bout the fire or the pain If the heart he's a part of will start beating again
Oh what do I see in those eyes Green as moss on a mountainside Grief-stricken certainty burnin' up through his chest
He's always been a gamblin' man So I'll see his forfeit and raise him a kiss
He's always been such a beautiful man So I'll take his forfeit and end him with a kiss
