Lucky That Way

I'm not saying that I'm something special

But you might know my name to some degree

Sometimes I can't believe that I'm still standing

And it feels pretty good to be me

I get to live out here in California

I got a palm tree and a swimming pool

Have some fun and try to play my music

Was all I really said I could do

And when anybody asks me Joe how do you do it

'Cause you do it with such style and grace

I just shake my head and smile

Look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm just lucky that way, just lucky

Got a good woman and she makes me happy

Most of the time I make her happy too

We decided we should live together

So we both said 'I do'

And when someone says "Hey Joe, I saw you on TV"

And how do you know what to play

I just shake my head and smile

Look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm just lucky that way

Started in the middle of nowhere

I didn't have far to fall

There were times I thought it was the end of the world

It didn't turn out so bad after all

Ya, I started in the middle of nowhere

I didn't have far to fall

And the times I thought it was the end of the world

Didn't turn out so bad after all

I'll let you all in on a little secret

If I can share with you a thing or two

If you just act like you know what you're doing

Everybody thinks that you do

And when anybody asks me "Joe, how do you do it

'Cause you do it with such style and grace"

I just shake my head and smile, look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm just lucky, I'm just lucky

I'm just lucky that way

I'm just lucky that way

I'm just lucky
