Bruce Hornsby - Fortunate Son Lyrics
I'm sitting wondering, watching the paradeIn my ever-present chairPeople laughing and smiles all around meBalloons and paper in my hairThere's a man in a car with the top downWaving wildly at me"The poor son of a gun", I know he's thinkingBetter him, him than meI've stared down the devil, and had to look awayCalled out to the angels, but no-one ever cameLaid down odd and even, but double zero playedThat's alright, I'm a lucky oneSuch a fortunate sonI was always taught well, taught wellTo be the strong one and keep it insideBut sometimes I sit beside the freewayAnd howl out at the dark, dark skyI might just have to go out and burn oneHave a drink or a fewFade away in a cloudy haze of smokeAnd give the old man's best saluteI've stared down the devil, and had to look awayCalled out to the angels, but no-one ever cameLaid down odd and even, but double zero playedThat's alright, I'm a lucky oneSuch a fortunate son
