I'm not sure who wrote this, but I learned it from the Texas duo TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA.

LUCKY GUY

My old car blew up at the red light,
A screamin' ball of hellacious fire
Ce la Vie, Adios.
I hopped a bus with my bag of groceries
Damn thing busted - green beans, snow peas
Down the isle, look at 'em go.
I threw everything in my overcoat,
Tied the sleeves together and I give 'em a tote,
Come Hell or high water I'm gettin' these groceries home.
'Cause I'm a lucky guy.
I got a woman who loves me so, I'm a lucky guy.
I got a woman who tells me so, I'm a lucky guy.
I'm a lucky guy.

My boss said,"I sure hate to lose you,
But don't you know it's the age of computers?
Have you ever thought much about maintenance work?"
I.R.S.(Revenue Canada) sent me a letter
They're sellin' my house to the highest bidder.
Tell you what boys, You can keep my shirt.
'Cause I'm a lucky guy.
I got a woman who loves me so, I'm a lucky guy.
I got a woman who tells me so, I'm a lucky guy.
I'm a lucky guy.

All my friends want to know
What the Hell am I so happy about?
Why do I glow?
They just can't figure me out.
I may get low, but nothin's gonna keep me down,
'Cause I'm a lucky guy.
'Cause I'm a lucky guy.
I got a woman who loves me so, I'm a lucky guy.
I got a woman who tells me so, I'm a lucky guy.
I got a woman who tells me so, I'm a lucky guy.
I'm a lucky guy.
I'm a lucky guy.

Now that's a love song with a happy ending.
