Lyrics
Come on
Pa, Ma, and Sis, and Jimmy
Went out for a drive
And some drunken lawyer hit 'em
And everybody but the lawyer died
Pa had lots of debt
So I went and sold the farm
I'm living in a tenement
And I'm starving
I got rat bites on my arms
Yeah, but life could be worse
Things could get bad
I'm lucky I guess
To remember what I had
Waiting in the line one day
For a bit of soup and bread
I met Miss Alicia
And this is what she said
She said, "Keep your chin up, Bobby
And smile when you talk"
Then she went away, now
She went away with Pa's gold watch
Yeah, but life could be worse
Things could get bad
I'm lucky I guess
To remember what I had
I'm lucky I guess
To remember what I had
I'm working out on Davies Street
For a man called Eddie Bones
I give him half of what I make
And he leaves me alone
I'll tell you, I don't deal no rough trade
Like the corner cowboys do
I'm a temporary resident
Of Lonely Avenue
Yeah, but life could be worse
Things could get bad
Life could be worse
Life could be worse
I'm lucky I guess
To remember what I had
I'm lucky I guess
To remember what I had
I'm lucky I guess
To remember what I had
