Lucky

Once upon a way back when misery was my best friend Always running from a misspent youth cold and empty as a pay phone booth I might have known a girl or two but nothing even close to you Anyone with eyes could see I'd had about enough of me How many times have I heard myself say If I hadn't got lucky, if I hadn't had you on my side I wouldn't be standing here today Before you came into my world I couldn't get my flag unfurled Any wind to find my sail was moving me to no avail The thing about the man I was, lonely is as lonely does Everyday a blinding blur, 'cause, that was just the ways things were How many times have I heard myself say If I hadn't got lucky, if I hadn't had you on my side I wouldn't be standing here today You never did try to tie me down And every last time I'd came unwound You didn't try to tame or shame or frame or game or try to lay blame Whenever I was deep in doubt You let me find my own way out This is what it comes down to I learned to be myself with you Now and then I feel so good I could learn to live in Hollywood It's not like we can change the world we're just another boy and girl Growing old together on Sunday Going back to work on Monday How many times have I heard myself say If I hadn't got lucky If I hadn't had you on my side I wouldn't be standing here today If I hadn't got lucky If I hadn't had you on my side I wouldn't be standing here today, boys
