I′ve been a runner, I've been a fighter

I′ve been the fuse, hell, I've been the lighter

Taken every wrong turn down the bridges I burnedIt's a bad reputation, but it′s damn well earned

Gotta thank God that this ol′ life ain't fair

There′s only one way to explain how I got here

I got lucky

Well, ain't that somethin′ for someone just like me

Who don't deserve a damn thing?

I know broken, beat down

And I know I show it then and now

But, hell, I chose it, yеah, I own it

And it brings me to my knees

I got lucky

I′ve been it all, I've been еmpty

I've had nothing, I′ve had plenty

Yeah, I′ve done the dance, too many close calls

More than most, most of all

I got lucky

Ain't that somethin′ for someone just like me

Who don't deserve a damn thing?

I know broken, beat down

I know I show it then and now

But, hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it

And it brings me to my knees

I got lucky

I make sure I don′t make it easy on me

But I woke up today, so that must mean

I got lucky

Well, ain't that somethin′ for someone just like me

Who don't deserve one damn thing?

I know broken, beat down

And I know I show it then and now

Hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it

And it brings me to my knees

I got lucky

I got lucky

Oh oh oh oh
