Lucky to Be Here
Grateful Journey: Embracing Life's Triumphs and Trials
Lyrics
I'm not one to whine or cry or wallow in self-pity
I don't complain, cry, or indulge in self-pity.
I take life in stride and smell the roses when I can
I approach life with a positive attitude, appreciating moments of joy.
I am one of those lucky guys who's happy just to be here
I consider myself fortunate to be content with simply being alive.
Doin' what I love and thankful that I am
I'm grateful for doing what I love and for my current situation.
With all of life's temptations
Despite life's challenges, including pursuing dreams,
And this dream that I've been chasin'
I acknowledge the difficulties in my journey.
It's a wonder I ain't long since dead and gone
It's surprising that I haven't succumbed to challenges and hardships.
I've cheated undertakers, dang near met my maker
I've narrowly avoided death and faced close calls.
I'm tellin' ya'll I'm lucky to be here at all
I emphasize that I'm fortunate to be alive despite these challenges.
My hard head, the cigarettes and straight Kentucky Bourbon
My stubbornness, smoking, and alcohol consumption have taken a toll on me.
Have taken their toll and done their best to do me in
These vices have tried to harm me.
Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway
Performing in bars and traveling the highway have been part of my life.
If I could start all over, I'd do it all again
Despite the challenges, I would choose the same path if given a chance.
With all of life's temptations
Despite life's challenges and pursuing dreams,
And this dream that I've been chasin'
I recognize the hardships in my journey.
It's a wonder I ain't long since dead and gone
It's surprising that I haven't succumbed to challenges and hardships.
I've cheated undertakers, dang near met my maker
I've narrowly avoided death and faced close calls.
I'm tellin' ya'll I'm lucky to be here at all
I emphasize that I'm fortunate to be alive despite these challenges.
And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face
Upon death, I will express gratitude to the Lord for patience and grace.
For his patience and grace
Acknowledging divine qualities that helped me throughout life.
With all of life's temptations
Despite life's challenges, including pursuing dreams,
And this dream that I've been chasin'
I acknowledge the difficulties in my journey.
It's a wonder I ain't long since dead and gone
It's surprising that I haven't succumbed to challenges and hardships.
I've cheated undertakers, dang near met my maker
I've narrowly avoided death and faced close calls.
I'm tellin' ya'll I'm lucky to be here at all
I emphasize that I'm fortunate to be alive despite these challenges.
