Lucky

(album: Come Get Your Wife - 2023)

I've been a runner
I've been a fighter
I've been the fuse
Hell, I've been the lighter
Taken every wrong turn down the bridges I burned
It's a bad reputation, but it's damn well earned
Gotta thank God that this ol' life ain't fair
There's only one way to explain how I got here

I got lucky
Well, ain't that something
For someone just like me
Who don't deserve a damn thing?
I know broken, beat down
And I know I show it then and now
But hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky

I've been it all
I've been empty
I've had nothing
I've had plenty
Yeah, I've done the dance, too many close calls
More than most, most of all

I got lucky
Ain't that something
For someone just like me
Who don't deserve a damn thing?
I know broken, beat down
I know I show it then and now
But hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky

I make sure I don't make it easy on me
But I woke up today, so that must mean

I got lucky
Well, ain't that something
For someone just like me
Who don't deserve one damn thing?
I know broken, beat down
And I know I show it then and now
Hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky
I got lucky
Oh
