Lucky Man - Mark Chesnutt

(Mark Wright, Ronnie Rogers)

Lightning hit that oak tree we¡¯ve been lookin¡¯ at for years
This summer oh I know we¡¯ll miss the shade - we just made it through
The coldest winter we ever knew and our ole hound Dixie passed away
Yeah I guess I¡¯ve got things to be down about but in spite of it all honey aint no doubt

Chorus 
I¡¯m livin¡¯ the life of a lucky man
Counting my blessings holding your hand
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
And for giving me the life of a lucky man 

So many things we talk about never do come true 
But Heaven knows I wish they could for you - believe me I know
You should be tempted to go that would be the easy thing to do
So many just give up and walk away but in spite of it all you¡¯re strong enough to stay

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
I guess I¡¯ve got things to be down about
But in spite of it all honey aint no doubt
