LYRICS
Verse
I felt lucky, so I grabbed my cash
Went to Vegas, bet it all in a flash, cause it seemed like a good idea at the time
I lost that money, but I found my wife
Got married by Elvis in the heart of the night
It seemed like a good idea at the time
And now she’s the love of my life
Chorus
When lightning strikes with inspiration, I go with what feels right
There are times it takes determination
But in the end if it felt good once, it’ll work out fine
If it seemed like a good idea at the time
Verse
We thought we’d save some money on our honeymoon
Hop on a freighter instead of a cruise, cause it seemed like a good idea at the time
We got boarded by pirates but hid in the hold
Slipped out at night; made off with their boat
Yeah, it seemed like a good idea at the time
And we waved as we sailed out of sight
Chorus
When lightning strikes with inspiration, I go with what feels right
There are times it takes determination
But in the end if it felt good once, it’ll work out fine
If it seemed like a good idea at the time
Bridge
When we got home, we made a million bucks
Sold our pirate story as a movie and book
Told my wife, “I’m feeling lucky, dear”
But she said, “No Vegas! You’re staying right here!”
And it seemed like a good idea
Chorus
When lightning strikes with inspiration, I go with what feels right
There are times it takes determination
But in the end if it felt good once, it’ll work out
Just takes a little perseverance; it’ll turn out
No need to worry everything will work out fine
If it seemed like a good idea at the time
Yeah, it seemed like a good idea
Just seemed like a good idea
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time
