Words & music by Dwight Yoakam
Have you ever seen a heart
As it lays dyin'
While whats left of its life
Slips away
Well any tears that get shed
Ain't worth cryin'
Cause I've seen plenty
I'm lucky that way
Have you ever heard a voice
Start to moanin'
After despair's choked its
Last words away
Well any worse sound
defies your ears even knowin'
and Lord I've heard plenty
I'm lucky that way
So wrap your warm arms around me
and let our weak hands deal out love's sad fate
Then press your soft lips against me
And let the first bets on new love be made
Have you ever watched a couple
Where one stands crying
While begging the other
To please stay
The awful truth is
It ain't worth the tryin'
Lord I've watched plenty
I'm lucky that way
Lord, I've watched plenty
I'm just lucky that way
