Lucky Man - Montgomery Gentry

I have days where I hate my job
This little town and the whole world too
Last Sunday when my Steelers lost
Lord it put me in a bad mood

I have moments when I curse the rain
Then complain when the sun's too hot
I look around at what everyone has
And I forget about all I've got

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
A few dollars in a coffee can
My old trucks still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man

Got some friends who would be here fast
I could call em any time of day
Got a brother who's got my back
Got a mama who I swears a saint
Got a brand new rod and reel
Got a full week off this year
Dad had a close call last spring
It's a miracle he's still here

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
a few dollars in a coffee can
My old trucks still running good
My ticker's tickin' like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, good woman's lovin'
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man

My old trucks still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's lovin'
And even my bad days ain't that bad
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
I'm a lucky lucky man


Yes indeed. Sometimes I may not realize this. I may take things for granted. I might not be able to see what I truly have because I'm so caught up in myself. thinking only of everything that is wrong in my life. Through it all though, I truly am, A Lucky Man.

Sadly I know nothing of this Napoleon Dynomite that you speak of. Does that mean something is wrong with me?

It just means that you need to rent the movie, CH! Even then, you might not get it until the second viewing. At least I didn't.

I was just reading an article today about life lessons from country music, and that was one of them: Be grateful with the little things!

And yeah, we do find it all too easy to get caught up in our own hype. You seem to be doing tons better, tho!

If it weren't for his lovely wife, who listens to three different country stations CH wouldn't have gotten to hear this song.

Well look whos trying to toot her own horn. ;-)~

Your NOT the only person in the hpusehold to listen to country. Just because I don't listen to it around you don't mean that I don't listen to it in other venues dear.

Love ya!
