Monique Brumby - Lucky Man lyrics

You've got that smile The one that tells me you're lovin' me for me Well it ain't no secret, we ain't never had much money But the kids don't go without and their clothes ain't got no holes My man's been working hard down at the Hydro He's a real man's man and they love him ‘round here He'll work with his hands when his mind is clear When the weekends roll ‘round that's when his drinking begins It breaks my heart I need you there when I get home The kids are clean and fed and we can be alone I need you there to draw the blinds in the morning You get me out of bed you keep me movin' When you're lovin' me for me Well it ain't no secret, he's a faithful man He'd build me a house out of bottles and cans Bottles and cans don't quite live up to the dreams I had on the day he asked me to marry him This should be enough but my boy drives him home The pub ain't the place for a boy 10 years old My man he's a good man, every man has his vice The lonesome sailor, this devoted wife Love is so precious, it may fade when it gets old No tear can be mended when the drink takes hold Listen my darling there are no guarantees Tell me one more time you're lovin' me I need you there when I get home I need you there to help share this load The pub ain't the place for a boy 10 years old My man you're a good man, every man has his vice I just need you here tonight You're a lucky man ‘cause I do all I can When you're lovin' me for me
