Carlene Carter - The Lucky Ones lyrics

(Carlene Carter) We are the lucky ones, we know the truth Our daughters and sons just like us in our youth Generations before us watch over from above They filled us with faith and they showered us with love My girl's just like her mama, loves with all her heart And my son keeps me smilin' when life seems too hard We're lucky that we have their love 'Cause some can only dream So I never take for granted what I know means everything We are the lucky ones We are the lucky ones We are the lucky ones, we know the score There's you and there's me and those fools at our door They want what we have, but they don't understand It's a secret that keeps us still holdin' hands We are the lucky ones We are the lucky ones Time keeps on tickin' while we watch the clock We learn from mistakes, yeah we've been around the block The way that this cruel world turns some upside down It's amazing to me that we're still hangin' 'round Strange as it seems I live my life like some sweet dream One day I'm flying through the air Next I'm danglin' by a string Tell me, am I walkin' on coals or treadin' on thin ice To have a little heaven here on earth Well, hell I'll pay the price We are the lucky ones We are the lucky ones
