Been eaten up, chewed on, sped out cold
Short change done payed and oversold
Some people say I've been the victim of my own succes
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've doomed me to the lions just for telling a lie
The way some people talk you would have thought I could have hung for less
But don't blame me, boy, I'm just lucky I guess

She wrecking me and I'll build a boat
Throw me overboard and I'll swear that I'll float
There's nothing you can do to me I haven't done to myself

I've been down in the trenches with the pimps and thieves
I've waited through the mud lift us up to my knees
I've seen things to make me laughing candely 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 sending you down
Now I'm just another number due in town 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 brown patches where I was born and raised

.................................................................
This struggle ..........was given just another rope
I've done what I was told, done my best to please
Now when people see me they don't ever lie to me
