That Lucky Old Sun
Chasing Heaven's Blessings: That Lucky Old Sun Unveiled
Lyrics
Up in the mornin' out on the job, work like the devil for my pay
Expressing the routine of working diligently in the morning for a living.
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
Highlighting the idleness of the sun, contrasting with the hard work of the speaker.
But roll around heaven all day
Emphasizing the leisurely nature of the sun, rolling in heaven without responsibilities.
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Describing the speaker's challenges in relationships and responsibilities.
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
Depicting the physical toll of hard work, leading to aging and exhaustion.
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do

Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'

Tears all in my eyes
