Lyrics
for the first time in your life
you were on the other side of a blue light special.
you searched the aisles for a sign.
the bargain of your life, to buy the impossible.
you reached for the box of faith and everthing around it.
way up high on the shelf.
it was there all the time in the corner of your mind.
you needed a reason to find it
chorus:
there goes the luckiest man alive.
he just bought more time.
he just bought the future.
there goes the luckiest man alive.
he just bought more time. hey lucky man.
where'd you buy the time?
we all take life for granted.
ashame, counting on second chances.
sometimes we get sometimes we don't unless we pray
hey lucky man. hey lucky man. where'd you buy the time? the luckiest man alive
