One Lucky Guy

Well they say you're One Lucky Guy I couldn't write like you if I tried Keep on, keeping on and never let That fire die…I just shake my head And sighed… 'cuz they have no idea How little I hoped to accomplish Thus far, I thought in my early Teens by now I'd be a big time Rock-n-roll star but funny how time Flies and you're left feeling all Washed up inside...still they say You’re One Lucky Guy to have Found true love when most People would kill to be in your Shoes and what's more you still Look half your age, man Gods' Been good to you...well I just Shake my head and sigh 'cuz They have no idea the mistakes I've made and the heartaches I've endured to get to where I Am so needless to say I feel a Little jaded in a way and days When I feel like saying “the hell With it all and who really gives A damn "but people only see What they want to see and not The disillusionment or the tears Behind a veil of lies so I shake My head and sigh, I just shake My head and sigh every time They say you are One Lucky Guy, You are One Lucky Guy!

Your words are so very true, Bo! People think that these stars have it all, and many wish they could be in their shoes. Little do they know that behind the glamour, lights and acclaim there is sadness and disillusion. #7 // paul
