Been beaten up and chewed on and spat out cold.
A A
Short changed underpaid and over sold,

Some people say I’ve been the victim of my own success,
E A
I can’t explain it I’m just lucky I guess
A A
I played the game for what it was and got hung out to dry,
A A
They through me to the lions for telling a lie
D A
The way that people talk to you though, I could have hung for less
E A
But don’t blame me boy I’m just lucky I guess
D D
She backs me and I’ll build her a boat
D D
Throw me overboard and I swear that id float

There’s nothing you can do to me that I haven’t done to myself
A A
I’ve been in the trenches with the pimps and the thefts.
A A
I’ve waded through the mud till it was up to my knees
D A
I’ve seen thing that would make the laughing cavalier depressed
E A
But the way I see it I’m just lucky I guess
Break A D A E A
A A
I’ve meet every sweet talking judge in this town
A A
They never love it more than when there sending you down

Now I’m just another number doing time with the rest

Me and my friends are just lucky I guess
D D
I anit goanna cry no more tears anymore
D D
There’s nothing you can show me I anit seen before

Down in the brown patch is where I was born and raised

Been uptown in this-week’s great white hope
A A
Ive been strung along and always given just enough rope
D A

E A
Now when they see me they don’t ever lie to me
