lyrics

LUCKY MAN
Brian Ojalehto / James House

Born in Massachusetts
Boy from a small town
Felt like I needed to give something back
After the hammer came down
Joined the Marine Corp
Mama sure was proud didn’t quite understand
No choice but to grow up fast
I knew right then and there
I was a lucky man

Living in that dirty desert
Brothers by my side
Do it all again in a second
Regret never crossed my mind
Brothers you can trust when your life is on the line
Fighting in a foreign land
Even going through that hell
Here to tell you I’m a lucky man

When I got home i shut down
Wouldn’t let anybody in
Did the booze and the pills till they lost their thrill
Then I did em all over again
Met a good girl changed my world
Stayed by my side helped me to understand
She picks me up through the crawl and fall
Let me tell you y'all
I’m a lucky man

Hmm lucky man
Hmm luck man

I finally see the road out ahead of me
And a little bit around the bend
Never would have made it back this far
Without the family and friends
Any day above the grave stay grateful thats my plan
Through death and pain and almost going insane
I’m a lucky man
