I'm not one to whine or cry or wallow in self-pity I take life in stride and smell the roses when I can I am one of those lucky guys who's happy just to be here Doin' what I love and thankful that I am
With all of life's temptations And this dream that I've been chasin' It's a wonder I ain't long since dead and gone I've cheated undertakers, dang near met my maker I'm tellin' ya'll I'm lucky to be here at all
My hard head, the cigarettes and straight Kentucky Bourbon Have taken their toll and done their best to do me in Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway If I could start all over, I'd do it all again
With all of life's temptations And this dream that I've been chasin' It's a wonder I ain't long since dead and gone I've cheated undertakers, dang near met my maker I'm tellin' ya'll I'm lucky to be here at all
And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face For his patience and grace
With all of life's temptations And this dream that I've been chasin' It's a wonder I ain't long since dead and gone I've cheated undertakers, dang near met my maker I'm tellin' ya'll I'm lucky to be here at all
