    Lucky You is a 2007 drama film directed by Curtis Hanson and starring Eric Bana, Drew Barrymore, and Robert Duvall. The film was shot on location in Las Vegas. The screenplay was by Hanson and Eric Roth, but the movie was partially inspired by the George Stevens 1970 film The Only Game in Town.

    Plot

    Set in 2003, Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is a young and talented poker player in Las Vegas haunted by his relationship with his estranged father, L.C. Cheever (Robert Duvall), a two-time World Series of Poker Champion. Huck is a regular in Vegas poker rooms but needs $10,000 to get a seat in the World Series of Poker Main Event.

    After a good night at the Bellagio hotel's poker room, Huck goes to a party and meets aspiring singer Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore), who has just arrived in town. Billie's older sister Suzanne (Debra Messing) warns her that Huck is "hustle 10, commitment zero." Back at the Bellagio, Huck is doing well at the tables before L.C. returns to town from the South of France. Huck greets his father coldly. The two play heads-up.

    Lucky You

    by: National

    Every time you get a drink
    and every time you go to asleep
    are those dreams inside you head
    is there sunlight on your bed
    and every time you're driving home
    way outside your safety zone
    wherever you will ever be
    you're never getting rid of me
    you own me
    there's nothing you can do
    you own me
    you coulda made a safer bet
    but what you break is what you get
    you wake up in the bed you make
    I think you made a big mistake
    you own me
    there's nothing you can do
    you own me
    you own me
    lucky you
    you own me
    there's nothing you can do
    you clean yourself to meet
    the man who isn't me
    you're putting on a shirt
    a shirt I'll never see
    the letter's in your coat
    but no one's in your head
    cause you're too smart to remember
    you're too smart
