"The Luckier Ones" lyrics

"The Luckier Ones"

I'm a good man turning over every stone
A dreamer and a lover from the flesh to the bone
I work too hard and I don't sleep none
Ain't nothing gonna stop me till I'm touching the sun
Ain't nothing gonna stop me till I'm touching the sun

I'm a poet in the throes though I'm never alone
Spending every other second on an old folk song
I'm always on the run for the ones back home
I'm in between the lines till the line's too long
In between the lines till the line's too long

So, honey, are we, are we the luckier ones?
Honey, we must be the luckier ones
So, honey, are we, are we the luckier ones?
Honey, we must be the luckier ones

She's a hard lovin' woman with an attitude
It's a matter of time 'fore she's had it with you
She don't ask for much, just something to do
She's an Aries in the night cryin' out for the moon
An Aries in the night cryin' out for the moon

She's a free mind thinker with a light in her eye
She's a hook, line, sinker, and the stars in the sky
With a heart of gold, she's the meaningful kind
A white wine soul with a beautiful mind
She's a white wine soul with a beautiful mind

So, honey, are we, are we the luckier ones?
Honey, we must be the luckier ones
Honey, are we, are we the luckier ones?
Honey, we must be the luckier ones

We're a wild fire burning in the middle of the night
Like to keep the wheels turning and the lifelines tight
We're in it till the end and all the works been done
We're second best to nothing, we're the luckier ones
We're second best to nothing, we're the luckier ones
Second best to nothing, we're the luckier ones

We're second best to nothing
We're second best to nothing
We're second best to nothing, we're the luckier ones
Second best to nothing
We're second best to nothing
We're second best to nothing
We're second best to nothing, we're the luckier ones

Second best to nothing
