(Carlene Carter)



We are the lucky ones, we know the truth

Our daughters and sons just like us in our youth

Generations before us watch over from above

They filled us with faith and they showered us with love



My girl's just like her mama, loves with all her heart

And my son keeps me smilin' when life seems too hard

We're lucky that we have their love

'Cause some can only dream

So I never take for granted what I know means everything



We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones



We are the lucky ones, we know the score

There's you and there's me and those fools at our door

They want what we have, but they don't understand

It's a secret that keeps us still holdin' hands



We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones



Time keeps on tickin' while we watch the clock

We learn from mistakes, yeah we've been around the block

The way that this cruel world turns some upside down

It's amazing to me that we're still hangin' 'round



Strange as it seems

I live my life like some sweet dream

One day I'm flying through the air

Next I'm danglin' by a string

Tell me, am I walkin' on coals or treadin' on thin ice

To have a little heaven here on earth

Well, hell I'll pay the price



We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones
