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

ya

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
