The Gaslight Anthem [Stay Lucky]

The 2nd track from the new TGA album, American Slang!

Lyrics-

It took so long to get back on my feet
It took so long to find the words and the beat
And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
When you call and you try to recapture

But them old records won't be saving your soul
And them feelings died for reasons you know
That you forgot somewhere riding the train
To a place you bought out in BoCoCa.

And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive
But you're never gonna find it like when you were young
And everybody used to call you lucky

And nothing feels right in the winter and cold
The steam heat clang and the dark at your door
And all the other rooms are a party tonight
And you never got an invitation

And you feel it in your bones steady aching some more
25 years gone about an hour ago
Mama never told me there'd be days like these
'Til it was much too late to recover

And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive
But you're never gonna find it
When your knees got so weak
And it's right here, in case you need it like when you were young
And everybody used to call you lucky when you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky

And it feels just like you might just explode inside
With your pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive at all
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore

But you're never gonna find it
When your knees got so weak
And it's right here, in case you need it like when you were young
And everybody used to call you lucky when you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky

I just discovered Gaslight Anthem, and when I put this CD on Winamp put this as first song.

My nickname among my friends has been Lucky for years. This song will stay with me for a long time, I believe.

This song is about Brian Fallon's writers block!

I swear this song is about my Grandfather, he survived Korea, in the early 90s he almosted died of a really bad Heart Attack he had to have surgery which the doctors said he most likely wouldn't survive and just recently he survived skin Cancer. He is Lucky! oh yeah and him and my Grandmother have been married since 55.
