Lyrics: Todd Snider. The Excitement Plan. Slim Chance.

I found a four leaf clover in my yard today
It had one leaf missing off it but that was okay
Looking it over I could easily see
Four is only really just one more than three
Hey, that's close enough for me, must be my lucky day

A slim chance is still a chance
A slim chance is still a chance
Whoa, hey, you don't necessarily
Have to pay the fiddler to dance

Christmas lights shining on the Fourth of July
We've got the radio playing, watching cars go by
I keep living in the lap of poverty
She makes me feel like I won some kind of lottery
The way she keeps looking over at me, ohh

A slim chance is still a chance
Slim chance, still a chance
Whoa, hey, you don't necessarily
Have to pay the fiddler to dance
Whoa, hey, you don't necessarily
Have to pay the fiddler to dance
