Lyrics
The Lucky One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A serious car wreck
A bad fall from a cliff
And the raging blue river once took me
From a raft in Breckenridge
Been held up in New Orleans
Strung out in Stockholm
And I've slept out on those cold cold streets
Of New York City alone
I can't explain why I'm still here today
I'm just thankful that I am
Yeah and I have survived more than I should
I pushed it as far as I could, reaching for the sky
And I've walked on the edge more than most
Heaven knows I've cut it close
But I'm alive after all I have done
It's you that makes me the lucky one
Yeah, my heart has been broken
By love and by death
And I been down on my knees
Prayin' to Jesus for devils breath
And I've lost all my money
You know faith and beliefs
Still the world around me
Showed nothing but sympathy
And every day that I wake up to see the Sun
I thank God you still think I'm the one
Yeah and I have survived more than I should
I pushed it as far as I could, reaching for the sky
And I've walked on the edge more than most
Heaven knows I've cut it close
I'm alive after all that I have done
It's you that makes me the lucky one
You make me the lucky one
After all that I have done
It's you that makes me the lucky one
