bailey says his money looks
like diamonds in the dirt
what looked like nothing
turns out to be something
half way around the earth
I guess the sun out there it's setting
on a barren world
I'm trying hard to picture it
while I comb the baby's curls
and put the tv on the millionaire show
watch somebody's luck go
and change for better again
lucky full blood american

bailey took his film cans
down along the border towns
where young boys old enough to fight
where hanging around
he took a rolling close up
of the last of one towns sons
towing up the line
in worn out shoes and rusty guns
we've got a picture on the mantle
babe ruth signed the handle
of bailey's bat at ten
lucky full blood american

we've got a might world of trouble
in a steady distant storm
used to seem so far off but
as of late it's getting warm
everybody's got a mind
to figure out the core
when there's nothing left
guess everything's worth fighting for
I put the tv on the millionaire show
watch somebody's luck go
and change for better again
lucky full blood american
