I was thinking about ways not to lose

I lay down my weapons is what I've done

Too late to hide, feet too soft to run

But people say I'm the luckiest man

And yeah they say,



Running is useless and fighting is foolish

You're not gonna win but still you're the luckiest man

You're up against

Too many horses and mysterious forces

What you don't know is you are the luckiest man

You're the luckiest man



I done talked to the devil when he calls my name

But sometimes when I'm losing it all seems the same

And when I fall I'm back up again

Just to slip on the same mistakes and slide right back in

But people say I'm the luckiest man

And yeah they say,



Running is useless and fighting is foolish

You're not gonna win but still you're the luckiest man

You're up against

Too many horses and mysterious forces

What you don't know is you are the luckiest man

You're the luckiest man



Try to keep my faith and keep my mind

Hate to lose either one when the whip cracks behind

And I can't help but mourning just a little each night

People say everything is gonna be alright

They say I'm the luckiest man

And yeah they say,



That running is useless and fighting is foolish

You're not gonna win but still you're the luckiest man

You're up against

Too many horses and mysterious forces

What you don't know is you are the luckiest man

You're the luckiest man

You're the luckiest man
