St. Patrick’s Day (3/17) is all about feeling lucky and having the luck of the Irish with us as we celebrate all things green and enjoy a beer or two. Country music has had its fair share of songs about being lucky in love or just being lucky in life.

As we mark 2023’s St. Patrick’s Day and Luke Combs releases his new lucky song, “Five-Leaf Clover,” we look at the Top Five Country Music Songs about being or maybe just feeling lucky.

  A song about how lucky she was to have her son whom she named “Lucky.” The chorus includes the lyrics, “I got lucky / Well, ain’t that somethin’ for someone just like me / Who don’t deserve a damn thing? / I know broken, beat down / And I know I show it then and now / But, hell, I chose it, yеah, I own it / And it brings me to my knees / I got lucky.”

  Faith sang this top ten hit on her NBC TV special Faith Hill: Fireflies. The chorus includes the lyrics, “‘Cause you’re mine / That’s all I need to know / The sunshine’s everywhere we go / It’s so right ’cause I’ve got you to hold every night / Yeah, I’m the lucky one / I’m the lucky one.”

• 2 - Montgomery Gentry - "Lucky Man" (2006)

  This song was lucky as it received a 2008 nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, the duo’s first nomination. The chorus includes the lyrics, “But I know I’m a lucky man / God’s given me a pretty fair hand / Got a house and a piece of land / A few dollars in a coffee can / My old trucks still running good / My ticker’s ticking like they say it should / I got supper in the oven, a good woman’s loving / And one more day to be my little kid’s dad / Lord, knows I’m a lucky man.”

• 1 - Luke Combs "Five Leaf Clover" (2023)

  Released on St. Patrick’s Day, this new Combs gem was inspired by Luke finding a five-leaf clover on his Tennessee property. The chorus includes the lyrics, “I know I’m a lucky man, but I ain’t sure why I am / Cuz it ain’t like anyone deserves the world in the palm of their hand / Now I hit my knees, thankful as can be / But the one thing I can’t get over / How’d a guy like me, who’d have been fine with three / Wind up with a five-leaf clover?”
