lyrics

This is how I know that I'm a lucky man:
I got this big stupid heart pumping blood, and one good hand,
and I woke up this morning.

Yeah: I know I been a selfish kid.
I been a coward and a narcissistic idiot.
I thought that I was the lantern.
I mean, I really thought that I was the lantern, or something,
But there ain't nothing in this world but the darkness,
and there ain't nothing in this world that can't be fixed or forgotten.

I spent a season in the wilderness
with a case of whiskey and a copy of Moby-Dick,
thinking I might bear witness.
I thought I might bear witness to something,
But there ain't nothing in this world but the darkness,
and there ain't nothing in this world that can stop it.

This is how I know that I'm a lucky man:
I share this big brass bed with a fine woman and a pit-bull pup.
And they woke up this morning. We woke up this morning.
