Lyrics:

Lightning hit that oak tree we've been lookin' at for years
This summer oh, I know we'll miss the shade
We just made it through the coldest winter we ever knew
And our ole hound Dixie passed away
Yeah, I guess I've got things to be down about
But in spite of it all honey, ain't no doubt.

I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
Counting my blessings holding your hand
I thank the Lord above, for sending me your love
And for giving me the life of a lucky man.

So many things we talk about never do come true
But Heaven knows I wish they could for you
Believe me I know you should be tempted to go
That would be the easy thing to do
So many just give up and walk away
But in spite of it all you're strong enough to stay.

I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
Counting my blessings holding your hand
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
And for giving me the life of a lucky man

I guess I've got things to be down about
But in spite of it all honey ain't no doubt.

I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
Counting my blessings holding your hand
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
And for giving me the life of a lucky man.

I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
And for giving me the life of a lucky man...
