Lyrics

LUCKIEST GIRL AROUND © 2008 Janice Hopkins/Glynda Duncan

He was the love of a lifetime
That's how he seemed to me
A knight in shining armor
My hero and my king

But the bottle was his true love
Nothing else could come between
I prayed to God to let it end
Everytime he hurt me

My friends say I'm the Luckiest Girl Around
To have a loving, handsome man
Yeah, I'm the envy of this town
But they don't know how scared I am
Soon I'll try to leave with my self respect
My kids and me, we won't look back
I'll be the Luckiest Girl Around

He says he's sorry everytime
How much can one heart take
Gave me all I ever asked for
'Cept the marks across my face

Repeat chorus

We'll leave tonight , just walk away
When he drinks himself to sleep
Another chance, another day
Tonight we'll pray our souls to keep

My friends say I'm the Luckiest Girl Around
To have a loving, handsome man
Yeah, I'm the envy of this town
But they don't know how scared I am
So I'm gonna leave with my self respect
My kids and me, we won't look back
I'll be the Luckiest Girl Around

Always been the envy of this town, but I'll leave tonight without a sound
I'll be the Luckiest Girl Around
