The Lucky One Lyrics

Cover art for The Lucky One lyrics by Alison Krauss

Some people are just born with that certain "it"- a collection of talents and gifts that allow them to move slowly through life, seemingly never struggling and always happy. Being that way, there's no reason for worry- you're blessed enough the life will float you on down the river without your concern, and it won't ensnare you at any point.

I guess we all wish we were that person.

I don't see any evidence in the song to indicate anything more than that.

@OldSouth I agree with your assessment of this song 100%. From the first time I heard this beautiful song, I felt as if the person being sung about was someone who just didn’t let life get them down. They knew how to look on the sunny side and always stay positive. Because of that, the person singing the song was a bit envious, but not in a bad way. They saw “the lucky one” and said, “wow! you’re so fortunate to see life this way. I wish I could be more like you.”
