The Luckiest Man On The Face Of The Earth
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.
You were the best supporting actor
The unforeseen factor
You were the guy who yanked the chains behind the stage
If you had talked a little faster
Maybe dressed in alabaster
You'd have been the hero of the age
CHORUS
Well here's your day in the sun, Lou
We see it now that you're done, you
Are the luckiest man on the face of the earth
The luckiest man on the face of the earth
You always played the second fiddle
You were the guy just right of middle
You were the man who drove the car while others slept
If you had flashed a little fancy
Maybe been a little dancy
You'd have been the jewel that they all kept
BRIDGE
You were consistently alive,
You were the king of the line drive,
There was always something about you, Lou
And in the face of that disease
When the muscles start to squeeze
The life right out of you
When most men shudder at the dread
Here's this thing you said
'Bout being the luckiest man on the face of the earth
