about

John Hiatt - one of my favourite songwriters - wrote this for his magnificent album, 'Riding with the King'. If you don't know who John Hiatt is I would urge you to check him out, he's brilliant!
I've asked my old bandmate, Simon Dodd to sing the lead vocal on this, and what a great job! thanks Si!
Remember folks, its free to download - but it sounds so much better when you donate something - however small - to our friends and colleagues in the industry who have been affected so badly by the COVID 19 pandemic. All money goes to helpmusicians and stagehand - two fantastic charities.

lyrics

Dry your eyes pretty girl
I just got news from the outside world
I don't know how they got our name
But yesterday this letter came
Mr. and Mrs. Resident Dweller, your lucky number is
You may already be a winner

I've suspected this for years
Still in all its nice to hear
They're pulling for us in the post
To you my dear, I raise this toast

A house of our dreams in El Dorado, a ten-speed blender
You may already be a winner

Now I've never counted my chickens before they're hatched
And I know there is always a catch
But I've felt from the start that our hearts were the perfect match

I know you're tired of the same old dress
I know the car's been repossessed
I know this house is just a shack
But there's this love we can't hold back
Would you like a beer with your TV dinner?
Oh, my darling, you may already be a winner
