lyrics

LUCKY THAT I MADE IT THIS FAR
Rick Loomis / Danny Myrick

There’s a tribe that’s a little fucked up
Nobody understands but us
Living outside the wire
Depending on a fixer and driver

There’s a fire burning deep inside
There’s a mission to bring some light
To the stories that are lost in the dark
I’m lucky that I made it this far

Maybe it’s fate or providence
Maybe it’s random happenstance
But after all those years I lost
All the time and the tears that it cost
I finally found someone that feels like home
So I don’t have to be alone
Yeah this road gets pretty damn hard
But I’m lucky that I made it
Lucky that I made it this far

A million reasons that I can’t sleep
A million faces that I can’t unsee
My comrades laying in the dirt
In places that nobody’s ever heard of
From Misrata to Marjah
I feel lucky that I made it this far

Maybe it’s fate or providence
Maybe it’s random happenstance
But after all those years I lost
All the time and the tears that it cost
I finally found someone that feels like home
So I don’t have to be alone
Yeah this road gets pretty damn hard
But I’m lucky that I made it
Lucky that I made it this far

Roadside bombs and rockets
All the times that I’ve been shot at
A merry go round of tragedy
Somehow all those bullets missed me

Maybe it’s fate or providence
Maybe it’s random happenstance
But after all those years I lost
All the time and the tears that it cost
I finally found someone that feels like home
So I don’t have to be alone
Yeah this road gets pretty damn hard
But I’m lucky that I made it
Lucky that I made it this far
