Lucky to Be Here Lyrics

Intro: D C G Gm (2 times)
Verse 1:
Well 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
and I am one of those lucky guys who's happy just to be here
Doin what I love, and thankful that I am
Chorus:
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
I'm tell y'all, I'm lucky to be here at all
Verse 2:
My heart hit the cigarettes, and straight Kentucky Bourbon
Takin' their toll, and doin 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
Chorus:
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
I'm tell y'all, I'm lucky to be here at all
Bridge:
And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face
For his patience and grace
Chorus:
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been chasin,
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
I'm tell y'all, I'm lucky to be here at all
