Lucky

Baby, I'm the type
That's always looking on the downside
When everything's alright
And ain't nothing wrong
I don't know why
I should be counting my blessings
Instead of counting down seconds
Until it's all gone

Well, I fear I've got more pain ahead
Than I've got looking back
I've been lucky, son, with more good times than blue
God help me when he takes my folks
To finally rest their heads
And all my good luck comes back home to roost

Baby, I'll try
Looking for the silver linings
When the sun ain't shining and it's dark as hell
I'll do my best to unwind
When you're living in the minute
Honey, I'll try to be in it
And not somewhere else

But, I fear I've got more pain ahead
Than I've got looking back
I've been lucky, son, with more good times than blue
God help me when he takes my friends
And leaves me in their stead
And all my good luck comes back home to roost

Baby, it's been nice
The streak that I've been on
Yeah, baby, it's been nice
But one day it will be done
Well, I think it's fair if the man upstairs
Should throw the book at me
There ain't no dodging that one
I'll just have to let it be

Well, I fear I've got more pain ahead
Than I've got looking back
I've been lucky, son, with more good times than blue
God help me when he takes you, dear
I hope it's me instead
And my luck runs out before it comes to roost
