Verse 1 I’ve run red lights on borrowed time, Thought I was slick, thought I was fine, Jumped in first, asked questions late, Shook hands with luck and tempted fate. I shook my fist at common sense, Spent good years without a fence, Lord, I oughta be six feet deep— But here I am, still losin’ sleep. Chorus Yeah, I’m lucky to be alive, Still breathin’, still takin’ dives, Did some dumb things, Lord knows I tried, I ain’t proud—but I survived. I been wrong so many times, Still the sun keeps shinin’ mine, Laugh it off, sing it loud— I’m lucky to be alive right now. Verse 2 I trusted friends with crooked plans, Put my faith in shaky hands, Spoke too quick, drove too fast, Actin’ like the good times last. I learned the hard way, twice a week, Strong‑willed, hard‑headed, soft‑in‑the‑seat, If bad ideas paid their rent, I’d own the block I’m livin’ in. Chorus Yeah, I’m lucky to be alive, Scraped my knees, but I can still dance, Made excuses, rolled the dice, Somehow still got a second chance. I been wrong so many times, Still the sun keeps shinin’ mine, Laugh it off, sing it loud— I’m lucky to be alive right now. Verse 3 (about everyone else) We chase cheap thrills and call it fate, Stand too close to a closing gate, Say “watch this” way too proud, Follow crowds that ain’t that smart. We drink the warning, skip the sign, Say “I know better” every time, It ain’t just me, take a look around— Common sense is underground. Bridge (spoken or half‑sung) Ain’t sayin’ I’m wise, Ain’t sayin’ I’m clean, Just sayin’ I woke up And that means somethin’ to me. Final Chorus (bigger, joyful) Yeah, I’m lucky to be alive, Still 웃 laughin’ at my ride, Been a fool, been baptized By dumb ideas and close‑up signs. I been wrong so many times, Still the sun keeps shinin’ mine, Raise your glass, sing it proud— We’re lucky to be alive right now. Outro If you’re still standin’, hear this tune— You made it through your mess too, Smile at the scars, shake it loose, That’s the happiest kind of blues.
