The Lucky One

by Alison Krauss & Union Station

on New Favorite (2001), Live (2003)

You're the lucky one, so I've been told
As free as the wind blowing down the road
Loved by many, hated by none
I'd say you were lucky 'cause I know what you've done
Not a care in the world, not a worry in sight
Everything's gonna be all right
'Cause you're the lucky one

You're the lucky one, always having fun
A jack-of-all-trades, a master of none
You look at the world with a smiling eye
And laugh at the devil as his train goes by
Give you a song and a one-night stand
You'll be looking at a happy man
'Cause you're the lucky one

Well, you're blessed, I guess
By never knowing which road you're choosing
To you the next best thing
To playing and winning is playing and losing

You're the lucky one, I know that now
Don't ask you why, when, where, or how
You look at the world through your smiling eye
And laugh at the devil as his train goes by
Give you a song and a one-night stand
You'll be looking at a happy man
'Cause you're the lucky one

Give you a song and a one-night stand
You'll be looking at a happy man
'Cause you're the lucky one

Well, you're blessed, I guess
By never knowing which road you're choosing
To you the next best thing
To playing and winning is playing and losing

You're the lucky one, I know that now
Don't ask you why, when, where, or how
No matter where you're at, it's where you'll be
You can bet your luck won't follow me
Give you a song and a one-night stand
You'll be looking at a happy man
'Cause you're the lucky one
