Inspired by a co-worker who is always complaining about hot weather.
lyrics
So Lucky
Words & Music by Brent L. Godfrey © 2011
Some complain about the heat. Some complain about the cold
All the things they can’t control and the fear of growing old
Some worry about their money. Some worry about the debt
Worried about all the things that haven’t happened yet
But the ones that are lucky seem to take things in stride
Don’t complain. Never worry just glad to be alive
Wish I was so lucky
Some complain about the rain. Some complain about the snow
Some are always too hot and others to damn cold
Some worry about their jobs. Some worry about their wife.
Some worry so much that they can’t sleep at night.
Some complain about their boss. Some complain about their wife
Complain so much that they miss half their life
Some worry about their health. Some worry about disease.
Some worry so much they will never be pleased.
