Verse 1
Some just knock, some walk right in,
Leave their coffee cold upon the sill,
Some stay a summer, some just a wind,
But every soul leaves something still.
[HOOK - "Lucky Life"]
People come, people go,
Some teach you fast, some teach you slow.
Lessons, laughter, love that stays,
Loyalty in the hardest days.
Doors keep slamming, hearts keep true,
Everybody leaves a piece of you,
Look around at what I got,
What a lucky, lucky life.
[Verse 2]
There's the teacher with the hard truth,
And the kid who thought I knew it all,
One taught me patience, one taught me proof,
You learn the most when you take the fall.
[HOOK - "Lucky Life"]
People come, people go,
Some teach you fast, some teach you slow.
Lessons, laughter, love that stays,
Loyalty in the hardest days.
Doors keep slamming, hearts keep true,
Everybody leaves a piece of you,
Look around at what I got,
What a lucky, lucky life.
[Verse 3]
Then comes the laughter down the hall,
Loud at midnight in a kitchen light,
The kind that finds you when the world feels small,
And makes the heavy feel alright.
[Verse 4]
And love, oh love don't always stay,
Sometimes it lingers, sometimes it leaves,
But every heart that ever came my way,
Taught this heart how to believe.
[HOOK - "Lucky Life"]
People come, people go,
Some teach you fast, some teach you slow.
Lessons, laughter, love that stays,
Loyalty in the hardest days.
Doors keep slamming, hearts keep true,
Everybody leaves a piece of you,
Look around at what I got,
What a lucky, lucky life.
[Verse 5]
But loyalty, that's a different kind,
It don't show up for the photograph,
It shows up late, when the road unwinds,
And stays when there's nothing left to have.
[Verse 6]
Doors keep turning, names keep changing,
Trains keep pulling out of town,
Life's a river, not for caging,
You wave hello, you wave back down.
[HOOK - "Lucky Life"]
People come, people go,
Some teach you fast, some teach you slow.
Lessons, laughter, love that stays,
Loyalty in the hardest days.
Doors keep slamming, hearts keep true,
Everybody leaves a piece of you,
Look around at what I got,
What a lucky, lucky life.
[Verse 7]
I count the faces, not the years,
Every goodbye carved a deeper view,
All that leaving, all those tears,
Just made more room for something true.
[HOOK - "Lucky Life"]
People come, people go,
Some teach you fast, some teach you slow.
Lessons, laughter, love that stays,
Loyalty in the hardest days.
Doors keep slamming, hearts keep true,
Everybody leaves a piece of you,
Look around at what I got,
What a lucky, lucky life.
[Verse 8]
So if you passed through, thank you kindly,
For the lesson, the laugh, the love you gave,
If you stayed, you know you'll find me,
What a lucky, lucky life you made.
