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 aint no doubt



Chorus

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



Repeat Chorus



Bridge

I guess I¡¯ve got things to be down about

But in spite of it all honey aint no doubt
