The Lucky One ~ Anders Osborne

A very simple video to a beautiful song. I do not own any rights to this song. Although a very simple video, I'd like to "dedicate" it to my grandpa, Les Whisler, an artist in every way, may he Rest In Peace.

Lyrics :
serious car wreck
a bad fall from a cliff
and the raging blue river once took me from a raft in breckenridge

held up in new orleans
strung out in stockholme
and i've slept out on those cold cold streets of nyc alone

I can't explain how i'm still here today
I'm just thankful that i am

I have survived more than i should
pushed it as far as i could, reachin for the skies
I've walked on the edge more than most
heaven knows i've cut it close
But I'm alive after all i've done
It's you that makes me the lucky one

Yea my heart has been broken
by love and by death
and i been down on my knees prayin to jesus in a devils breath
i've lost all my money, faith, and beliefs
and somehow the world showed me nothing but sympathy

I have survived more than i should
pushed it as far as i could, reachin for the skies
I've walked on the edge more than most
heaven knows i've cut it close
But I'm alive after all i've done
It's you that makes me the lucky one

after all that I've done, it's you, that makes me the lucky one.

Thanks for posting. This song is awesome. As soon as I heard it I ran to the piano and learned it. I can't get enough!!!

[Matt Schulze]

Anders sums up all things a Maverick encounters along Mara's ephemeral road...

[DrunkenMasshole]

Yup.

[TheCannonballrun]

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite performers/songwriters. I've gotten to see him live twice. Made me feel pretty lucky. :-)

its funny the first time i heard this song we were on a 9 hour trip to florida and my dad was playing bad music and as soon as this song came on we all started cracking up and it took me an hour to stop laughing

[Robert Quan]

This song hits close to home. The older you get the more you look at life. SOME PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IT, BUT THEY ARE THE LUCKY ONES. Couldn't sum it up any better. Great song.
