"Lucky Man" Lyrics
(Kevin Bowe / Mick Sterling)
I was born by the river
Raised in a river town
Caught bullheads for
supper
Holes in my hand me-downs
Every night I see the people
In
the bright lights ‘round the bend
The air they breathe was sweeter
Like God made the wind for them
So I filled my head with dreaming
About things I could not have
Turned my hand to stealing
Walked the
devils path
Now I’m thankful for the hard times
And grateful for the
pain
Cause any man who isn’t satisfied
Only’s got himself to blame
Chorus
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
I’m a Lucky Man
Ever since you set me free
Father forgive me
Cause I took so long to
see
I never knew how lucky
One lucky man can be
I still
live by the river
But now it flows for me
And even when my load gets
heavy
It ain’t as heavy as it used to be
Sometimes I feel the hunger
Of the live I left behind
But I don’t need nothing that I ain’t got
To satisfy my mind
Chorus
I was born by the river
Raised in a river town
I’m gonna let that water bless me
Til’ the
lay me in the ground
Chorus
