Lyrics

A Fortunate Man He was my accidental father I was the unexpected kid There was no plan for my arrival, Disappointment when I did He’d worked out his escape, But it took too long, And he could not stand the thought of leaving us alone with our crazy mom He took 20 years to leave her, …he was never home So when life brought me a lesson I learned to work it out alone I bought my first guitar when I was just 14 I Played in all the bars to make the cash to chase my dream Seems I always had a plan to become a fortunate man While my mother spent her time assigning all the blame I took the time to find the things that make the rest of us the same And it was hard for us to watch how Mother held her grudge And what she failed to see is what we needed most was her love I bought my first car at the age of 17 And left my town behind to chase my dream Seems I always had a plan to become a fortunate man Sometimes we’re stronger because we hunger for what should be My life has become far beyond what I had hoped or dreamed for me A simple understanding is what mom and me had But I learned about compassion from people like my dad My daddy told me just a week before he died My sister and I were the reasons why he could look any man in the eye And he said thank you both for making me a fortunate man...
