And everything else in between.

verse 2
Who'd ever thought for a moment,
She'd have to grow up so fast,
School beauty queen with a child at sixteen,
Swore that her fortunes had passed.
Pre-Chorus 2
But blessings can hide in the strangest disguise,
I know that she would agree.
Chorus
As long as the rivers still run to the seas,
Hey lucky you lucky me,
Hey lucky you lucky me.

verse 3
Hey look at me in the spotlight,
Ripped jeans and rock and roll hair,
Feeling so cool but I'd be such a fool,
Singing to no one out there.
Pre-Chorus 3
So hey take a bow every band needs a crowd,
And I've got a song we can sing.
Chorus
As long as the rivers still run to the seas,
Hey lucky you lucky me,
Hey lucky you lucky me,
Hey lucky you lucky me.
