MONTGOMERY GENTRY LYRICS



"Lucky To Be Here"


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
