Lucky That Way

I'm not saying that I'm something special

But you might know my name to some degree

Sometimes I can't believe that I'm still standing

And it feels pretty good to be me

I get to live out here in California

I got a palm tree and a swimming pool

Have some fun and try to play my music

Was all I really said I could do

And if anybody asks me - Joe how do you do it

'Cause you do it with such style and grace

I just shake my head and smile

Look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm just lucky that way... just lucky

Got a good woman and she makes me happy

Most of the time I make her happy too

We decided we should live together

So we both said 'I do'

And when someone says - Hey Joe, I saw you on TV

And how do you know what to play

I just shake my head and smile

Look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm just lucky that way

Started in the middle of nowhere

I didn't have far to fall

There were times I thought it was the end of the world

It didn't turn out so bad after all

Yeah, I started in the middle of nowhere

I didn't have far to fall

And the times I thought it was the end of the world

Didn't turn out so bad after all

I'll let you all in on a little secret

If I could share with you a thing or two

If you just act like you know what you're doing

Everybody thinks that you do

And when anybody asks me - Joe, how do you do it

'Cause you do it with such style and grace

I just shake my head and smile

Look 'em in the eyes and say -

I'm just lucky, I'm just lucky

I'm just lucky that way

I'm just lucky that way
