We were the Drifters, Jokers Somebody you just saw in the hallway Got our Kicks between class Spittin' dip Talkin' trash Breaking rules and making Bad Grades Taking the long way home With the three six up And the windows down We didnt know back then But I sure know now We were the the lucky ones Raised up to be fighters Swinging at everything That we could see Through hungry eyes We were the lucky ones Hell bent and Full of fire Giving it everything we had To keep our dreams alive We were poor and we were wild and we were young We were the lucky ones Between the blood and the sweat Calloused hands, You can bet working hard Is all we had ever known And all of the girls and the cars, Busted lips, broken hearts Came alive out on those Back roads Just a bunch of small town kids Looking for trouble when the sun went down The best nights of our lives was all we found We were the lucky ones Raised up to be fighters Swinging at everything That we could see Through hungry eyes We were the lucky ones Hell bent and Full of fire Giving it everything we had To keep our dreams alive We were the lucky ones We were poor and we were wild and we were young And it made me Into the man I have become 'Cause I was a Lucky one Raised up to be fighter Swinging at everything That Icould see Through hungry eyes 'Cause we were the Lucky ones Hell bent and Full of fire Giving it everything we had To keep our dreams alive We were poor and we were wild and we were young We were the Lucky ones We were the Lucky ones
