Lyrics: Dwight Yoakam. Blame the Vain. Lucky That Way.

Have you ever seen a heart as it lays dyin'
Or what's left of it's 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 despairs choked it's 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 delight love's sad face

Then press your soft lips against me
And let the first bets on new love be made

Have you ever watched a couple where a woman stands cryin'
While begging the other to please stay?
The awful truth is, it ain't the worth the cryin'
Lord, I've watched plenty, I'm lucky that way
Lord, I've watched plenty, I'm lucky that way
