SO DAMNED LUCKY

I've never bought a winner, on those tickets that you scratch

Never chosen the right fighter in a single boxing match

If I go to the track, and pick a horse, it’s sure to lose

So how’d I get so lucky, so damned lucky, to get you

I’m always stuck in traffic, it doesn't matter when I leave

If I ask about the football pool, coworkers laugh at me

When I say it looks like rain, the sky turns a brilliant blue

So how’d I get so lucky, so damned lucky, to get you

My friends wait for me to bet, so they can bet the other way

I decided to plant corn one year, so they all put in hay

They think that it’s amazing , I laugh every time I lose

I tell them that I’m lucky, so damned lucky to have you

And nothing matters in this world, to me, but loving you

The rest is all just fun and games, no matter what I do

I don’t waste a minute thinking of how often I get screwed

I know that I am lucky, so damned lucky to have you

(spoken)

Yeah, you go ahead and laugh

I’ll laugh right along with you

I hear the whispers 

Doomed …

Me?

No,  not me

I’m lucky

So damned lucky!
