In a dirty hotel room
Somewhere in rainy California
Channel surfing through the night
And there ain't nothing on

I went down to an empty bar
And I started talking to a stranger
He said "I come here every night
So I won't have to be alone"

I guess that I'm a lucky man
I guess that everything ain't all that bad
There's always somebody with less
I realize that I'm blessed
Now I understand, I'm a lucky man

Somewhere out there in the night
There must be a million people
They're just trying to survive
Barely holding on

I can't feel sorry for myself
When everything ain't goin' my way
'Cause I've got dreams and something else
I've got a reason to go on

I guess that I'm a lucky man
I guess that everything ain't all that bad
There's always somebody with less
I realize that I'm blessed
Now I understand, I'm a lucky man

I guess that I'm a lucky man
I guess that everything ain't all that bad
There's always somebody with less
I realize that I'm blessed
Now I understand, I'm a lucky man

I realize that I'm blessed
Now I understand, I'm a lucky man
