Lucky Songtext
von Karma County

I was lucky I was loved
Nobody took me from those precious hands
I was tucked up tight at night
In my own bed with soft words I could understand
Nobody ever said to me
"Hey sister, you got mud in your veins
Are you a half? Are you a quarter?
Does the father even know his own daughter?"

Wouldn′t matter anyway, wouldn't matter anyway
They tell you he was dead
Packed up and moved away
Seems to me that the only crime in it
Is to come from the wrong side of the blanket
Were it lust or love
The result is still the same within
Seems sad and foolish today
To coin a phrase
Sorry always seems to be the hardest word to say


Oh, did you feel the way I do
When you got the news?
Oh, did you feel the same way too
When you got the news it couldn′t be you?

Yeah, I'm lucky I am loved
I don't wake up in the middle of the night
Bolts tucked tight thinking out loud
Am I half black? Am I half white?
No, I know who I am, where I′m from
Where I′m going, what I'm doing, what I′ve done
Just as sure as there's gonna be a new day′s sun

Sometimes I wonder
In the wrong place at the wrong time
I could have been just another love crime
And now I'd be walking different country
In a different skin
But what I knew
That I was lucky
I was lucky
I was lucky
Lucky I was loved


Oh, did you feel the way I do
When you got the news?
Oh, did you feel the same way too
When you got the news it couldn′t be you?

I was lucky
I was lucky
