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
