So Damn Lucky (Live)

Everything's different with my head in the clouds
I hit this corner with my foot on the gas
I started sliding
I'm losing
Everything's different
Just like that

Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me
This frozen heart
And screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?

I'm so damn lucky
That you went on ahead
You said, you said
"I'll see you later"
I heard what you said, and a few minutes later
I'm sliding
Everything's different again

Oh, my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me
This frozen heart
And screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?
I'm dizzy from all this spinning

Now I'm thinking that you did all you could
When you said, "My love
Take it slowly"
"Okay," is what I said

Oh, my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me
This frozen heart
And screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?

Take me back
To just before I was spinning
Take me back
It's amazing what a minute can do
Take me back
Just before I was spinning
Just like you

Take round, round, round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round, round, round
Amazing what a minute can do
Round, round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round
"Okay," is what I said

Thank you very much everybody
So what, uhm, I'll just be quick if y'all bear with me
Just one of these things been on my mind
'Cause you know sometimes you hear things
And you just think, "That's unbelievable!"

Anyway, this young fella went off and he fought in Iraq
He went over there brave
And with many other brave young men and women like him
And his vehicle was hit by a rocket, I think it was a rocket
So he's deaf now and he's kind of messed up as you can imagine
And his got brain damage
As he turns out when he got back

They concluded that before he joined the army
He was, uh, depressive
And so he had a pre-existing condition and that means
He doesn't get any benefits for his time
And so, hold on a second, don't get too upset yet
Anyway, so not only did he get discharged from the army

He also lost his bonus
So he ended up owing the military
Or the government three thousand dollars
You know what, it's just those kind of stories
Where you hear 'bout somebody been on death row
And then being put to death
And then you find out that they didn't do it

Sad, it has that same kinda sickening feeling inside you
I'm not saying whether or not we should or shouldn't be there
All I'm saying is of all the people that we should honor is the people
Who gave themselves so completely to us
Because they believe
Anyway, a personality disorder

Apparently, there's 22 thousand boys and girls
Who have been dismissed for having personality disorders
I'm sure some of them probably did
And some of them probably shouldn't been be in there
Maybe even the majority, but how many are like a hero like John Town?
You know it's just a terrible thing, it's a terrible thing
And we all have to think about what we can do about it
But back to the show and I love you for listening to me, thank you
