Tomorrow is a good day to be wearin’ the green and countin’ your lucky stars. Wednesday is St. Patrick’s Day, a celebration of the luck of the Irish. And if you need a few country songs to make the day run smoothly, good luck’s gonna shine, as Keith Urban would say. We’ve got country’s “Lucky 13” titles, which run the whole gamut from the best of times to the worst.

Montgomery Gentry, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Alison Krauss are among the country stars who’ve used their music to embrace supposedly random fortune — good luck, bad luck, no luck at all. Luck’s been a central theme in songs about love, songs day-to-day living and even Jerry Reed’s “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot” — a classic about a game of craps.

Then there’s the title track to Kenny Chesney’s Lucky Old Sun. The song was never a hit, but it got a vocal boost from Willie Nelson, and Kenny would certainly view that as a stroke of luck.

At any rate, here’s country music’s “Lucky 13.” In most cases, the title says it all. In a few instances, we’ve thrown in a line or two that explain why it’s on the list.
