Lucky Man

me and annie got married when we were just kids
on a couple hundred dollars and two promises
she was three months showing in a cap and gown
we knew nothing 'bout the world outside of this town
she had an uncle in deerborn heights
helped me get on at the mill workin' nights
you know that third shift foundry, it's tough as they come
but with a baby on the way something had to be done

wooo
days they just go rushin' past
when you're growing up fast
wooo
but i never let it get to me
baby all i see... is a lucky man

now every morning with the sunrise that shift whistle blows
and i 'm always getting anxious to get on down the road
cause she's waitin' there for me just inside the door
tell me how could anyman, anywhere, ever ask for anymore?

wooo
days they just go rushin' past
like they're never meant to last
wooo
but i never let it get to me
baby all i see... is a lucky man

sometimes i wonder
you know a man will wonder, yeah

wooo
days they just go rushin' past
like there never meant to last
wooo
but i never let it get to me
cause all i'll ever be...is a lucky man

oh yeah, baby...i'm a lucky man, oh yeah
