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."
