I’m Gonna Hit The Number  – Words & Music by Hank Woji

I got to get down to the corner store,

Just can’t wait another minute more

Got all these numbers runnin’ round my head,

If I don’t play ‘em might as well be dead

Man says “Son, straight or box how do you wanna play?”

Great God in heaven this must be my lucky day

I’m gonna hit the number

Yeah, I’m gonna hit the number

Some day soon when my ship comes in

You’re all gonna see this ain’t no sin

Knew all along I was gonna win

I’m gonna hit the number

Gonna hit the number baby

It’s April 6 my uncle died this day,

if I don’t play it, it will surely pay

Number on a license plate from Tennessee,

Looks like a stone cold winner to me

And the Yankees won again last night, the score eleven to five

Sweet baby Jesus keeps sendin’ me all these signs

I’m gonna hit the number

Lord, I’m gonna hit the number

Some day soon when my ship comes in

You’re all gonna see this ain’t no sin

Knew all along I was gonna win

I’m gonna hit the number

Yeah, I’m gonna hit the number baby

I got a system and it can’t be beat,

Man, that payoff’s gonna be so sweet

Been chartin’ numbers for a year or two,

I got all the winners and the losers too

It’s only a matter of time before I figure it out

I’m gonna hit it big, this time there just ain’t no doubt

Yeah, I’m gonna hit the number

Oh, I’m gonna hit the number

Some day soon when my ship comes in

You’re all gonna see this ain’t no sin

Knew all along I was gonna win

I’m gonna hit the number

Gonna hit the number now

I got my tickets and my hands are hot,

Countin’ down the hours till the balls are dropped

They call the numbers and my heart’s on fire,

Every damn number in the world but mine

Tearin’ up tickets I swear I shoulda changed my mind

I gotta play my second cousin’s wedding date next time

Then, I’m gonna hit the number, yeah, I’m gonna hit the number

Some day soon when my ship comes in

You’re all gonna see this ain’t no sin

Knew all along I was gonna win

Gonna hit the number

Gonna hit the number, baby
