I´ve been a runner, I´ve been a fighter
I´ve been the fuse, hell, I´ve been the lighter
Taken every wrong turn down the bridges I burned
It´s a bad reputation, but it´s damn well earned

Gotta thank God that this ol´ life ain´t fair
There´s only one way to explain how I got here

I got lucky
Well, ain´t that´s somethin´ for someone just like me
Who don´t deserve a damn thing?
I know broken, beat down
And I know I show it then and now
But, hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky

I´ve been it all, I´ve been empty
I´ve had nothing, I´ve had plenty
Yeah, I´ve done the dance, too many close calls
More than most, most of all

I got lucky
Ain´t that somethin´ for someone just like me
Who don´t deserve a damn thing?
I know broken, beat down
I know I show it then and now
But, hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky

I make sure I don´t
Make it on easy on me
But I woke up today
So that must mean

I got lucky
Ain´t that somethin´ for someone just like me
Who don´t deserve one damn thing?
I know broken, beat down

I know I show it then and now
Hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it
And it brings me to my knees
I got lucky
I got lucky
Oh
