Jon Allen - Lucky I Guess Lyrics
Been eaten up, chewed on and spat out coldShort changed, underpaid and oversoldSome people say I’ve been the victim of my own successI can’t explain it; I’m just lucky I GuessI played the game for what it was got hung out to dryThey threw me to the lions just for a telling a lieThe way some people talk you would have thought I could have hung for lessOh but don’t blame me boy, I’m just lucky I guessShipwreck me and I’ll build a boatThrow me overboard and I swear that I’ll floatThere’s nothing you can do to me I haven’t done to myselfI’ve lived down in the trenches with the pimps and thievesI’ve wadded through the mud till it was up to my kneesI’ve seen things to make the laughing cavalier depressedThe way I see it, I’m just lucky I guessI’ve met every sweet talking judge in this townThey never love you more than when they’re sending you downNow I’m just another number doing time with the restMe and my friends, We’re just lucky I guessI ain’t gonna cry no tears anymoreThere’s nothing you can show me I ain’t seen beforeDown in the briar patch was where I was born and bredBeen advertised as this weeks great white hopeBeen strung along and always given just enough ropeI’ve done what I was told, I’ve done my best to pleaseNow when people see me, they don’t even lie to me
