Story behind the song
Another of my father's phrases - originally an Irish saying, I believe. With a bit of added autobiography..
Lyrics
Lucky than Rich DC DAG D DC DEmA My father well he did OK Getting by from day to day To make a little extra he'd dodge and weave Pretty fly not easy to deceive He had hopes for me but was never pushy My upbringing was pretty cushy Mother pushed the academic track But no one expected me to break my back EmD AGGADA GDC GAsusA7 He said Don't be defined by where you're from Money just a thing that comes then it's gone Don't worry bout money don't scratch that itch Better to be born lucky than rich Better to be born lucky than rich If you're unlucky life is a bitch But from all I've seen of you what I suppose is You fall in a cess pit come out smelling of roses Better to be born lucky than rich With luck on your side you'll never drop a stitch Now I'm not talking gambling just taking your chances That's the way that your life advances DC DDC DDC DDC DAG A Better to be born lucky than rich x3 Lucky than rich
