Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues/R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. Later she would become famous for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.

Luck of The Draw Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
You dust the bottles on the bar counter
Youre writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin
Sometimes its good to lose your pride.
These things we do to keep the flame burnin
And write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the world turnin
Another avenue to try.
Its in the luck of the draw, baby
The natural law
Forget those movies you saw, little baby
Its in the luck of the draw, baby
The natural law
(flame keep on burnin)
Forget those movies you saw, little baby
(wheel ever turnin).
You turn around and say its last orders
You fix the ribbon in your hair
Tomarrows letter by the hall doorway
Could be the answer to your prayers.
