Lucky

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

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
