NorthWoods Soul - Lucky Lyrics

There's a shooting on the news again
Was it nine or maybe ten
They got the kid who did it then
Came out to plead the second again

Bombs came from I don't know where
Sixty dead in the village square
A baby died in a cloud of gas
Swaddled in a stateless flag

And I just sit at home all day counting lucky stars along the way
I don't think you'd be wrong to say
I'm lucky
I'm lucky

A guy I knew who had a lot
Didn't know just what he'd got
Left his wife threw in his lot
For a bimbo with one in the pot

Had a brother was a clever soul
But couldn't seem to cope at all
Found him bouncing off the wall
With a dozen bibles in his hall

And I just sit at home all day counting lucky stars along the way
I don't think you'd be wrong to say
I'm lucky
I'm lucky

My father fought in the last Great War
At least he knew what he was fighting for
But some of the things he saw
He carried with him forevermore

So he settled for a quiet life
Worked hard and loved his wife
Brought me up so I can try and be
Half the man that he was to me

And I just sit at home all day counting lucky stars along the way
I don't think you'd be wrong to say
I'm lucky
I'm lucky

I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
Lucky lucky lucky lucky me
