The lucky son

TerriEllen

trigger warning: touches on Suicide in the vein of Simon and Garfunkel’s Richard Cory
semi-autobiographical

He’s the one
Grew up right
He never did no wrong
In his parents sight

He went to college
Got his degree
No one could argue
About his pedigree

The pressure was great
On this young lad
Always aiming to please
His mom and dad

Chorus
He’s the lucky son
never caused no worry
He’s their No. 1
He’s the Lucky son
Just watch him shine
Hes the favored one
He’s the Lucky Son
How could it go wrong
Hes the lucky one
Ye——ah, he’s the lucky son
Ye—–ah, he’s the lucky son
Ye——ah, he’s the lucky son (final)

It became too much
Always taking stock
In how others felt
tired of being a rock

The stood around
Wiping their eyes
Not believing this day
They’ed say goodbye.

He was the one
Grew up right
Never Did no wrong
Never got in a fight.

Chorus
