Lucky That Way

(Dwight Yoakam)



Have you ever seen a heart

As it lays dyin'

While what's left of it's life

Slips away

Well, any tears that get shed

Ain't worth cryin'

'Cause I've seen plenty

I'm lucky that way.



Have you ever heard a voice

Start to moanin'

After despair's choked it's

Last words away

Well, any worse sound

Defies your ears even knowin'

And Lord, I've heard plenty

I'm lucky that way.



So wrap your warm arms around me

And let our weak hands deal out love's sad fate.



--- Instrumental ---



Then press your soft lips against me

And let the first bets on new love be made.



Have you ever watched a couple

Where one stands crying

While begging the other

To please stay

The awful truth is

It ain't worth the tryin'

Lord, I've watched plenty

I'm lucky that way.



Lord, I've watched plenty

I'm lucky that way...
