Lyrics
Struck by Lightning
by Al Polito Copyright 2003 Tiberias Brutus Music/BMI
I've been very lucky all of my life
But I know it cannot last forever
I'm the gentleman, I'm always polite
I'm the one who's almost always clever
I'm the one who never eats at home
I'm the one who never sleeps alone
I'm the one who made the grade in school
The one who kept or got around the rules
CHORUS
But all the forest's tallest trees
Have been struck by lightning
But not me
Fate will have its day
and I may go down fighting
But I'll be struck by lightning
I'll be struck by lightning
I'll be struck by lightning
All my life just hangs by such slender threads
When one breaks I'll shudder from the thunder
Sure I have my problems, everyone does
But not one has ever put me under
I'm the one who's never out of work
I'm the one they never called the jerk
I'm the one who gets a second chance
I'm the one who always has the answer
Chorus...
