Lyrics:

Going by the book
Well that's the problem
I could carry on
Like that 'til I'm gray

But if you want me
That changes everything
From night
To dusk to day

[Chorus]
I'm a sweepstakes winner
Something like that
I guess I am
You'd say, 'oh yeah'

With the girl I knew
Before I'm sure
I don't mind being carried away

She's taller by an inch
She dresses worse than me
She told me she can own all my soul

But she won't catch me
Experience has taught me
More than I want to know

[Chorus]
I'm a sweepstakes winner
Something like that
I guess I am
You'd say, 'oh yeah'

With the girl I knew
Before I'm sure
I don't mind being carried away

The sky is made of steel
The light is crystal
Every map was clear
And even then

She sounds so good
Every time I spoke
Her eyes
Would tell me 'yeah'

We're taking in the mess
And tending garden
Looking out the back
At where I am

And I see her wave
I'm ready any time anywhere
And I think she says

[Chorus]
I'm a sweepstakes winner
Something like that
I guess I am you could say 'yeah'

With the girl I knew
Before I'm sure
I'm being carried away
