Lucky

(앨범: The Chicago Sessions - 2023)

Once upon a way back when misery was my best friend
Always running from a misspent youth cold and empty as a pay phone booth
I might have known a girl or two but nothing even close to you
Anyone with eyes could see I'd had about enough of me

How many times now have I heard myself say
If I hadn't got lucky if I hadn't had you on my side
I wouldn't be standing here today

Before you came into my world I couldn't get my flag unfurled
Any wind to find my sail was moving me to no avail
The thing about the man I was lonely is as lonely does
Everyday a blinding blur that was just the ways things were

How many times now I have heard myself say
If I hadn't got lucky if I hadn't had you on my side
I wouldn't be standing here today

You never did try to tie me down
And every last time I'd came unwound
You didn't try to tame or shame or frame or game or try to lay blame
Whenever I was deep in doubt
You let me find my own way out

This is what it comes down to I learned to be myself with you
Now and then I feel so good I could learn to live in Hollywood
It's not like we can change the world we're just another boy and girl
Growing old together on Sunday
Going back to work on Monday

How many times now have I heard myself say
If I hadn't got lucky
If I hadn't had you on my side
I wouldn't be standing here today

If I hadn't got lucky
If I hadn't had you on my side
I wouldn't be standing here today
