Lucky I Guess

Been eaten up, chewed on and spat out cold

Short changed, underpaid and oversold

Some people say I've been the victim of my own success

I can't explain it; I'm just lucky I Guess

I played the game for what it was got hung out to dry

They threw me to the lions just for a telling a lie

The way some people talk you would have thought I could have hung for less

Oh but don't blame me boy, I'm just lucky I guess

Shipwreck me and I'll build a boat

Throw me overboard and I swear that I'll float

There's nothing you can do to me I haven't done to myself

I've lived down in the trenches with the pimps and thieves

I've wadded through the mud till it was up to my knees

I've seen things to make the laughing cavalier depressed

The way I see it, I'm just lucky I guess

I've met every sweet talking judge in this town

They never love you more than when they're sending you down

Now I'm just another number doing time with the rest

Me and my friends, We're just lucky I guess

I ain't gonna cry no tears anymore

There's nothing you can show me I ain't seen before

Down in the briar patch was where I was born and bred

Been advertised as this weeks great white hope

Been strung along and always given just enough rope

I've done what I was told, I've done my best to please

Now when people see me, they don't even lie to me
