MONTGOMERY GENTRY - Lucky To Be Here lyrics

?m not one to whine or cry

Or wallow in self-pity

I take life in stride

Smell the roses when I can

I am one of those lucky guys

Who?s happy just to be here

Doin? what I love

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, I?ve dang near met my maker

I?m tellin? you all, 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, I?ve dang near met my maker

I?m tellin? you all, 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, I?ve dang near met my maker

I?m tellin? you all, I?m lucky to be here at all.

Lucky to be here at all
