The Lucky Ones

We were the drifters, jokers

Somebody you just saw in the hallway

Got our kicks between class

Spittin' dip talkin' trash

Breaking rules and making bad grades

Taking the long way home

With the three six up and the windows down

We didn't know back then

But I sure know now

We were the lucky ones

Raised up to be fighters

Swinging at everything

That we could see through hungry eyes

We were the lucky ones

Hell bent and full of fire

Giving it everything we had

To keep our dreams alive

We were poor

We were wild

We were young

We were the lucky ones

Between the blood and the sweat

Calloused hands, you can bet

Working hard is all we had ever known

And all of the girls and the cars

Busted lips, broken hearts

Came alive out on those back roads

Just a bunch of small town kids

Looking for trouble when the sun went down

The best nights of our lives was all we found

We were the lucky ones

Raised up to be fighters

Swinging at everything

That we could see through hungry eyes

We were the lucky ones

Hell bent and full of fire

Giving it everything we had

To keep our dreams alive

We were the lucky ones

We were poor

We were wild

We were young

And it made me into the man I have become

'Cause I was a lucky one

Raised up to be a fighter

Swinging at everything

That we could see through hungry eyes

We were the lucky ones

Hell bent and full of fire

Giving it everything we had

To keep our dreams alive

We were poor

We were wild

We were young

We were the lucky ones

We were the lucky ones
