Written by Marty Stuart and Bob DePiero 



Well, my old man had a heart of gold

He had eyes of steel and a real deep soul

He was a quiet man, he never said too much

But when he did, you'd better listen up 

I was ready to waltz all around the world

Ready to love every blue eyed girl

My bags were packed and I was ready to leave

He shook my hand and said to me, me, me



I wish you luck and love, love and luck

Life's a treasure, so go dig it up

Be what you are, and that's enough

I wish you luck and love, and love and luck

Luck and love, and love and luck



So here I am out on my own

Ain't much to show for the seeds I've sewn

There's been some broken hearts and some long lost nights

I'm startin' to think I can't do nothing right



Well, I guess you've got to learn as you go along

If you're gonna do right then you can't do wrong

So I looked in the mirror and I said to me

"Daddy was right, here's what you need"



A little luck and love, love and luck

Life's a treasure so go dig it up

Be what you are and that's enough

I wish you luck and love, and love and luck

Luck and love, and love and luck
