Lyrics Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam

Lucky That Way

Have you ever seen a heart

As it lays dyin'

While what's left of its life

Slips away

Well any tears that get shed

Ain't worth cryin'

'Cause I've seen plenty

I'm lucky that way

Have you ever heard a voice

Start to moanin'

After despair's choked its

Last words away

Well any worse sound

Defies your ears even knowin'

And Lord I've heard plenty

I'm lucky that way

So wrap your warm arms around me

And let our weak hands deal out love's sad fate

Then press your soft lips against me

And let the first bets on new love be made

Have you ever watched a couple

Where one stands cryin'

While begging the other

To please stay

The awful truth is

It ain't worth the cryin'

Lord I've watched plenty

I'm lucky that way

Lord I've watched plenty

I'm lucky that way.
