Song of The Day :: John Prine - How Lucky (live)

 Someone posted this over the weekend on Facebook and I realised I could finally watch John Prine again after losing him to Covid-19 (one of the first great artists to go after his struggling with chronic health matters, the Covid just hit him too damned  hard)  . . . . . Down The Deep whom I like and always post things to my taste! So let's start the week with some prime Prine!


Live here with stalwart guitar support from regular Phil Donnelly . . . . . . . . great song


"Today I walked down the street I use to wander
Yeah, shook my head and made myself a bet
There was all these things that I don't think I remember
Hey, how lucky can one man get.
I bronzed my shoes and hung from a rearview mirror
Bronzed admiration in the blind spot of regret
There was all these things that I don't think I remember
Hey, how lucky can one man get.
Today I walked down the street I use to wander
Yeah, scratched my head and lit my cigarette
Well, there was all these things that I don't think I remember
Hey, how lucky can one man get.
Today I walked down the street I use to wander
Yeah, shook my head and made myself a bet
There was all these things that I don't think I remember
Hey, how lucky can one man get.
Hey, how lucky can one man get.
Hey, how lucky can
One ..
Man..
Get."

Songwriters: John E Prine
