Lightning hit that oak tree weve been lookin at for years
And this summer oh I know well miss the shade
We just made it through the coldest winter we ever knew
And our ole hound Dixie passed away
Yeah I guess Ive got things to be down about
But in spite of it all honey ain't no doubtIm 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 manSo 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
Aw, that would be the easy thing to do
So many just give up and walk away
But in spite of it all youre strong enough to stayIm 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 manWell, I guess Ive got things to be down about

Counting my blessings holding your hand

And for giving me the life of a lucky manYeah, I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
And for giving me the life of a lucky man
