Five million...

Mm-hmm...

Thought you were somebody...

You checked your numbers,

Couldn't believe your eyes.

Started acting famous

Before the sun could rise.

Bought designer everything,

Walking with a brand-new strut.

Talking like a millionaire...

Boy, you talk too much.

Everybody warned you,

You said, "Just wait and see."

You were feeling larger than life—

Like money grew on trees.

You thought you had it made,

Thought you had the winning touch.

Thought the cash would never end...

Guess you spent too much.

You won the lottery...

Won the lottery...

Thought you had the golden life,

Thought you had the recipe.

You won the lottery...

Won the lottery...

Everybody watched you shine...

Now just wait and see.

Sports cars...

Private bars...

Diamonds hanging from your arms.

Fur coats...

Speed boats...

Champagne flowing nonstop.

Big house...

Poolside...

Every single day was Friday.

Cruise ships...

Casino trips...

Betting everything away.

Now the money disappeared.

Where'd it go?

Nobody knows.

You never saved a dime,

Never planned ahead.

Now the dream is over—

And here's what everybody said...

You lost the lottery...

Lost the lottery...

Blew it faster than the wind,

Now there ain't no sympathy.

You lost the lottery...

Lost the lottery...

Living on the streets...

On the streets...

Living on the streets...

On the streets...

Thought you had it all...

Now you're nobody...

Nobody...

Nobody...

Nobody...

Money comes...

Money goes...

If you don't control it...

Everybody knows.

One big win

Can disappear...

Faster than it took

To get you here.

You lost the lottery...

Lost the lottery...

Should've made that money last,

Now it's just a memory.

You lost the lottery...

Lost the lottery...

Living on the streets...

On the streets...

Thought you ruled the whole wide world...

Now you're just another story.
