Lightning hit that oak tree weve been lookin at for years

This summer oh I know well miss the shade - we just made it through

The coldest winter we ever knew and our ole hound Dixie passed away

Yeah I guess Ive got things to be down about but in spite of it all honey aint no doubt



Chorus

Im livin the life of a lucky man

Counting my blessings holding your hand

I thank the Lord above for sending me your love

And for giving me the life of a lucky man



So many things we talk about never do come true

But Heaven knows I wish they could for you - believe me I know

You should be tempted to go that would be the easy thing to do

So many just give up and walk away but in spite of it all youre strong enough to stay



Repeat Chorus



Bridge

I guess Ive got things to be down about

But in spite of it all honey aint no doubt
