Lucky Man Lyrics & Chords By Monique Brumby

You’ve got that smile
The one that tells me you’re lovin’ me for me
Well it ain’t no secret, we ain’t never had much money
But the kids don’t go without and their clothes ain’t got no holes
My man’s been working hard down at the Hydro
He’s a real man’s man and they love him ‘round here
He’ll work with his hands when his mind is clear
When the weekends roll ‘round that’s when his drinking begins
It breaks my heart
I need you there when I get home
The kids are clean and fed and we can be alone
I need you there to draw the blinds in the morning
You get me out of bed you keep me movin’
When you’re lovin’ me for me
Well it ain’t no secret, he’s a faithful man
He’d build me a house out of bottles and cans
Bottles and cans don’t quite live up to the dreams
I had on the day he asked me to marry him
This should be enough but my boy drives him home
The pub ain’t the place for a boy 10 years old
My man he’s a good man, every man has his vice
The lonesome sailor, this devoted wife
Love is so precious, it may fade when it gets old
No tear can be mended when the drink takes hold
Listen my darling there are no guarantees
Tell me one more time you’re lovin’ me
I need you there when I get home
I need you there to help share this load
The pub ain’t the place for a boy 10 years old
My man you’re a good man, every man has his vice
I just need you here tonight
You’re a lucky man ‘cause I do all I can
When you’re lovin’ me for me
