A Lucky Life

"A Lucky Life" by Vonda Shepard

From the album It's Good, Eve

We've lived a long, long time and all the radios are playing our song tonight
We walk a crooked line 'cause there is a counter life in your jailed eyes
You're never a victim of your generation and you shine on me like a holy light
All of the miracles and conversations rain on me tonight

We've got a one track mind, true as a railroad, always on time
I see it in your eyes, you don't have to talk to me, I know what you're thinking
I need my solitude as much as you do, darling, to live this life we came here for
Never for one single solitary moment did I need you more

We live a lucky life
I see it all tonight
We sit and close our eyes
Traveling to paradise or anywhere we like
We live a lucky life

My home is on the road, the pavement caters to, to my gypsy soul
We walk the tightest rope, we live in a circus, circus of hope
All the melodies and inspirations shine on me like a holy light
Right in the middle of our conversation you wink at me, saying it's alright

We live a lucky life
I see it all tonight
We sit and close our eyes
Traveling to paradise or anywhere we like
We live a lucky life
