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
