A serious car wreck A bad fall from a cliff And the raging blue river once took me From a raft in Breckenridge Been held up in New Orleans Strung out in Stockholm And I've slept out on those cold cold streets Of New York City alone I can't explain why I'm still here today I'm just thankful that I am Yeah and I have survived more than I should I pushed it as far as I could, reaching for the sky And I've walked on the edge more than most Heaven knows I've cut it close But I'm alive after all I have done It's you that makes me the lucky one Yeah, my heart has been broken By love and by d**h
And I been down on my knees Prayin' to Jesus for devils breath And I've lost all my money You know faith and beliefs Still the world around me Showed nothing but sympathy And every day that I wake up to see the sun I thank God you still think I'm the one Yeah and I have survived more than I should I pushed it as far as I could, reaching for the sky And I've walked on the edge more than most Heaven knows I've cut it close I'm alive after all that I have done It's you that makes me the lucky one You make me the lucky one After all that I have done It's you that makes me the lucky one
