We were the drifters, jokers
Somebody you just saw in the hallway
Got our kicks between class spittin' dip talkin' trash
Breaking rules and making bad grades
Taking the long way home
With the three six up and the windows down
We didn't know back then
But I sure know now
We were the lucky ones, Raised up to be fighters
Swinging at everything, that we could see through hungry eyes
We were the lucky ones, Hell bent and full of fire
Giving it everything we had, to keep our dreams alive
We were poor and we were wild and we were young
We were the lucky ones
verse 2
Between the blood and the sweat
Calloused hands, you can bet
Working hard is all we had ever known
And all of the girls and the cars
Busted lips, broken hearts
Came alive out on those back roads
Just a bunch of small town kids
Looking for trouble when the sun went down
The best nights of our lives was all we found
We were the lucky ones, Raised up to be fighters
Swinging at everything, that we could see through hungry eyes
We were the lucky ones, Hell bent and full of fire
Giving it everything we had, to keep our dreams alive
We were the lucky ones
We were poor and we were wild and we were young
And it made me into the man I have become
Bridge
Raised up to be a fighter
Swinging at everything
That we could see through hungry eyes
We were the lucky ones, Hell bent and full of fire
Giving it everything we had, to keep our dreams alive
We were poor and we were wild and we were young
We were the lucky ones
We were the lucky ones
