CreatiVets – Lucky Lyrics (Kenny Foster)

Verse
I know trouble always comes in three’s
Took two of my boys but they didn’t take me
Three bombs, three years, three surgeries
I was fightin’ to stay but they made me leave
Breeze came beside my bed, read me my last rights
I took one long hard look at him
Said you got the wrong **** guy, I’m lucky
I had no parade, no welcome home
Just a hole in my head and a stretcher being long
I snuck a sin need to cover a night
Some didn’t even make it through their flight
But a purple heart, a star upon my chest
Called me a hero while I was something else instead

Chorus
Lucky, I can still look up to see those stars above me
Got three great girls to share my name and love me
Don’t ask me why a bullet’s fly
A good man dime it ain’t enough to me
Sometimes you get lucky

Verse
Didn’t know where I was looking pretty back
Real me to a love I didn’t know who I am
Some soldiers wives just turn away
When I was tough enough to stay a hole in my hand

Chorus
Lucky, I can still look up to see those stars above me
Got three great girls to share my name and love me
Don’t ask me why a bullet’s fly
A good man dime it ain’t enough to me
Sometimes you get lucky

Instrumental

Bridge
Now those days where my memory’s gone
Each night’s a fight until the dawn
What’s real what ain’ts anybody’s guesses
I hung my last step thereof thatlanch
Then I got a call, heard her voice
Realize I had a choice

Chorus
Lucky, I can still look up to see those stars above me
Got three great girls to share my name and love me
Don’t ask me why a bullet’s fly
A good man dime it ain’t enough to me
Sometimes you get **** lucky
Sometimes you just get lucky
