Lucky to Be Alive - Confederate Railroad

Mama went off with another man

When I was home at three

Daddy took the drink

For years he took the

Just a kid when I left home

I turned eighteen in jail

Looking back I shouldn’t know

I never had a chance to hail

I’m lucky to be alive

It’s only God that I survived

Many times I should’ve been dead

For spinning the devil

I’m lucky to be alive

I learned to drink

Raised a lot of cane

I could say it was all his fault

But I don’t wanna got me still to play

Got caught with another man’s woman

Pulled the gun and lost his nerve

to kill there

I’ve got what I deserved

I’m lucky to be alive

It’s only God that I survived

Many times I should’ve been dead

For spinning the devil

I’m lucky to be alive

you can’t judge me

Whether I’m dumb or saint

Meet the man that makes the call

I won’t let judge

I’m lucky to be alive

It’s only God that I survived

Many times I should’ve been dead

For spinning the devil

I’m lucky, I’m lucky to be alive
