Longshot

[Verse 1]

Did your number come in on a longshot?

Did you bet big and sweep the pot?

Did you walk away with the glory?

Did you stand up and take your shot?

[Refrain]

Have you seen, have you seen

Have you seen the man give of his time?

Have you seen, have you seen

Have you seen the man work for a dime?

[Verse 2]

Have you ever dreamed so big it seems

There's no chance the dream will come true?

About a wish beyond your grasp

You're all but guaranteed to lose

But sometimes fate's a funny gal

So keep your eyes peeled for the signs

Keep the faith and keep on dreaming

'Cause thеre might just be a time

[Refrain]

Havе you seen, have you seen

Have you seen the man give of his time?

Have you seen, have you seen

Have you seen the man work for a dime?

[Chorus]

Did your number come in on a longshot

Did you bet big and sweep the pot?

Did you walk away with the glory?

Did you stand up and take your shot?

Did karma do you justice when you're down and out and lost?

Did the shamrock on your shoulder bring good fortune and pay off?

[Verse 3]

'Cause people like you and I

We're never meant to achieve our dreams

We're conditioned to settle for something

Something much less than it seems

So be careful what you wish for

'Cause some dreams aren't meant to come true

Or the dreams you thought you wanted and needed

Are custom fit for a fool

[Refrain]

Have you seen, have you seen

Have you seen the man give of his time?

Have you seen, have you seen

Have you seen the man work for a dime?

[Chorus]

Did your number come in on a longshot?

Did you bet big and sweep the pot?

Did you walk away with the glory?

Did you stand up and take your shot?

Did karma do you justice when you're down and out and lost?

Did the shamrock on your shoulder bring good fortune and pay off?

[Post-Chorus]

(Have you seen, have you seen)

(Have you seen, have you seen)

[Bridge]

They said it was all just a pipe dream

"You'll never make nothing out of yourself"

Been that same look on all of your faces

As you laugh me out of the room (Haha)

Is changing the hand that you're dealt

Even something any of us can achieve?

When you sit back and rest on your laurels

You steal the chances, you gotta believe

[Verse 4]

But people like you and I

We're never meant to achieve our dreams

We're conditioned to settle for something

Something much less than it seems

So be careful what you wish for

'Cause some dreams aren't meant to come true

Or the dreams you thought you wanted and needed

Are custom fit for a fool

[Chorus]

Did your number come in on a longshot?

Did you bet big and sweep the pot?

Did you walk away with the glory?

Did you stand up and take your shot?

Did karma do you justice when you're down and out and lost?

Did the shamrock on your shoulder bring good fortune and pay off?

Did your number come in on a longshot?

Did you bet big and sweep the pot?

Did you walk away with the glory?

Did you stand up and take your shot?

Did karma do you justice when you're down and out and lost?

Did the shamrock on your shoulder bring good fortune and pay off?
