Lyrics
Tired of Being Lucky Born to migrants workers Poor as the day is long When it came to privilege We did not belong Moved up to NJ Father way to ill Barely scraping by Fighting all the bills People say I'm Lucky---------} Chorus Just because I'm white Walk a mile in my shoes Before you have that right Tired of being lucky You know it's not true I walked all the hard roads I have paid my dues My first store bought clothes Came when I was eight Worked a neighbors farm Tell you it was great Extras to my mother For her cookie jar Not for toys or candy We didn't have a car People say I'm Lucky---------} Chorus Just because I'm white Walk a mile in my shoes Before you have that right Tired of being lucky You know it's not true I walked all the hard roads I have paid my dues All races have been slaves--} Bridge At least a time or two Why are you complaining It sure wasn't you Instrumental Break People say I'm Lucky---------} Chorus Just because I'm white Walk a mile in my shoes Before you have that right Tired of being lucky You know it's not true I walked all the hard roads I have paid my dues Tired of being lucky I have paid my dues Copyright 8/2020 John W Selleck BMI
