I
know trouble always comes in threes
Took two of my boys, but they didn't take me
Three bombs, three years, three surgeries
I was fighting to stay, but they made me leave
Police came beside my bed,
read me my last rights I took one long hard look at him
Said, you got the wrong damn guy I'm lucky
I had no parade,
no welcome home Just a hole in my head and a stretcher being
low
Snuck us in, underneath the cover of night
And some didn't even make it through that flight
Put a purple heart,
a star upon my chest Called me a hero,
but I was something else
instead
Lucky,
I can still look up and see those stars above me
Got three great girls that share my name and love me
Don't ask me why,
bullets fly,
good men die,
man,
it ain't up to me
Sometimes you get lucky
Didn't know where I was,
looking pretty bad They wheeled me to a love I didn't know I had
Some soldiers' wives just turned red Mine
was tough enough to stay and hold my hand
Lucky,
I can still look up and see those stars above me
Got three great girls that share my name and love me
Don't ask me why,
bullets fly,
good men die,
man,
it ain't up to me
Sometimes you get lucky
The
battle stays,
but my memory's gone Each night's a fight until the dawn
What's real,
what ain't's anybody's guess As I
hung my last step there off that ledge
Got
a call,
heard her voice
Realized
I had a choice
Lucky,
I can still look up and see those stars above me
Got three great girls that share my name and love me
Don't ask me why,
bullets fly,
good men die,
man,
it ain't up to me
Sometimes you get damn lucky
Sometimes you just get lucky
