The Lucky One
Faith Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is these cut off overalls
And sandals on my feet
But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket
Just so I could sit there on a broken seat
I got no place I should go
I got no worries you know
Second or seventh street
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Well I pulled back down to
My upstreet apartment
The air never works in that old place
Twenty-seven I thought I'd
Be further along
Than just this rented space
I got no papers to read
I got no cable TV
And I got no places to be
I got no people to meet
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
I'm on a roll
When I'm with you
Don't stop me now
I just can't lose
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Yeah I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one

So hot outside all I can wear
Is these cut off overalls
And sandals on my feet
But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket
Just so I could sit there on a broken seat
I am living in difficult circumstances and had to give up even the most basic necessities to afford a bus ride which only provided a broken seat.
I got no place I should go
I got no worries you know
Second or seventh street
It doesn't matter to me
Despite life's shortcomings, I am content and carefree, living with no particular destination or concern.
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go

My love for you is all that matters, as you bring light and warmth wherever we go. The feeling of holding you at night confirms that I am indeed fortunate.
Well I pulled back down to
My upstreet apartment
The air never works in that old place
Twenty-seven I thought I'd
Be further along
Than just this rented space
Returning to my apartment on the upper side of the street, I find that my air conditioning is not working, and it reminds me that at twenty-seven, I expected to be in a better place than this rental.
I got no papers to read
I got no cable TV
And I got no places to be
I got no people to meet
I have no access to information or entertainment as I have nothing to read or watch, and ultimately, no commitments that would require me to be around other people.
I'm on a roll
When I'm with you
Don't stop me now
I just can't lose
When I am with you, I feel unstoppable and untouchable. You inspire me to be my best self and never give up.
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Yeah I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Your love is everything I need, and it lights up every aspect of my life. Holding you each night reminds me that I am indeed the luckiest person alive.
