Hornsby, Bruce - Fortunate Son Lyrics
I'm sitting wondering, watching the parade
In my ever-present chair
People laughing and smiles all around me
Balloons and paper in my hair
There's a man in a car with the top down
The poor son of a gun, I know he's thinking
Better him, him than me
I've stared down the devil, and had to look away
Called out to the angels, but no-one ever came
Laid down odd and even, but double zero played
That's alright, I'm a lucky one
Such a fortunate son
I was always taught well, taught well
But sometimes I sit beside the freeway
And howl out at the dark, dark sky
I might just have to go out and burn one
Have a drink or a few
Fade away in a cloudy haze of smoke
And give the old man's best salute
I've stared down the devil, and had to look away
Called out to the angels, but no-one ever came
Laid down odd and even, but double zero played
That's alright, I'm a lucky one
Such a fortunate son
I might just have to go out and burn one
Have a drink or a few
Fade away in a cloudy haze of smoke
And give the old man's best salute
I've stared down the devil, and had to look away
Called out to the angels, but no-one ever came
Laid down odd and even, but double zero played
That's alright, I'm a lucky one
Such a fortunate son

Great song and performance
Bruce is astoundingly great!!!
That was freaken good.
if you've listened to this song and haven't read Lewis Puller Jr's "Fortunate Son," you're really missing half the meaning of this song.
Gotta fix the description. I says "Jacob's Ladder" instead of "Fortunate Son".
You know Bruce loves this song. He played it after my dad requested it at a show in Pisgah, NC.it was his encore.
Bruce is so good xx
Vocals are stellar!
