Content[edit]

The song opens with the narrator listing various small things that annoy him, such as his job and the weather; however, he then reminds himself, "I know I'm a lucky man / God's given me a pretty fair hand", and turns to recounting all of the luxuries in his life, from his family to his health to his truck to his new fishing rod.

The second line of the song’s first verse, "And last Sunday, when my Bengals lost / Lord, it put me in a bad mood" was edited for different markets; 81 additional team names from the MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, and NCAA (in place of the Cincinnati Bengals) in these different edits, depending on the market.

20 Years of Hits Version[edit]

In November 2018, Montgomery Gentry released a new rendition of the song, featuring fellow American country artist Darius Rucker. The new rendition is part of a 20th anniversary album, Montgomery Gentry: 20 Years of Hits.[2]

I have days where I hate my job
This little town, and the whole world too
Last Sunday when the Bengals lost
Lord, it put me in a bad mood

I have moments when I curse the rain
Then complain when the sun's too hot
I look around at what everyone has
And I forget about all I've got

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
A few dollars in a coffee can
My old truck's still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man

Got some friends who would be here fast
I could call 'em any time of day
Got a brother who's got my back
Got a mama who I swear's a saint
Got a brand new rod and reel
Got a full week off this year
Dad had a close call last spring
It's a miracle he's still here

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
A few dollars in a coffee can
My old truck's still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man

My old truck's still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And even my bad days ain't that bad
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
I'm a lucky lucky man
