bill mallonee - baby, i was lucky (to get outta there alive) lyrics

[verse 1]
sit down at the table, this place keeps the lights down low
they all speak in whispers, i can hear the diminishing of souls
now, now, now, baby, i don’t ever play when the deck is stacked
there’s too much evil in these parts, and no one’s got my back

[chorus 1]
i tried that suit on once, but it was really just for size
sweet darlin’, i was lucky just to get out of there alive
baby, i was lucky to get out of there alive

[verse 2]
you know what they say
“when you get the ball, you give it your best shot”
but i would remove that silk tie whеn you put your head on the chopping block
and my, if the axе should fall, much to your dismay
just hang on to your heart, you might fight another day

[chorus 2]
i struck the match, and flash, it opened up my eyes
i tell you, baby, i was lucky to get out of there alive
baby, i was lucky to get out of there alive
baby, i was lucky to get out of there alive
oh, baby, i was lucky

[verse 3]
now we’re parked here at the last verse, and there’s so much i seem to forget
and it’s time to take the test, and i haven’t even learned my lesson yet
sages, they speak in clipped phrases
and prophets, they sing in lamentations
you may get some airplay, but just keep it to three minutes in duration
and if their ears are full of wax, by god, this too shall pass
and if their backs are turned, well, just preach it to their ass
[chorus 3]
now the hangman sold cravats by day, his windsor knot, it was an exceptional tie
baby, i was lucky to get out of there alive
oh, baby, i was lucky to get out of there alive
baby, i was lucky
baby, i was lucky
