I知 A Lucky Son Of A Gun
by Paul McCann

They kidnapped me from off the street then cuffed my hands and cuffed my feet .
I thought to myself , here we go ,
this is a sinister hello .

Nowhere to go ,nowhere to run .
I知 a lucky son of a gun .

They put me in a cold dark room
it was late in the afternoon ,
when they bundled me in their car and drove me somewhere not that far .

i had no idea what I壇 done .
I知 a lucky son of a gun .

Interrogated and accused ,
illegally held and abused .
Terrorised without any cause ,
I hadn稚 broken any laws .

Uncomfortably numb and struck dumb , I知 a lucky son of a gun .

The loaded gun that they had got had misfired whenever they shot , then they said I was free to go , but better they forget me .

Now I can tell everyone.
I知 a lucky son of a gun.

I went and took my hat and coat
and then I went and caught that boat to go across the deep blue sea to somewhere they値l never find me .

Fortune favours bravely for some,
I知 a lucky son of a gun .

.

I really like the tenor of the whole thing. Haven't heard that phrase, son of a gun, for some time. It's good to hear it again

I'm sure you already have put music to it because it'll make a great song like that Johnny Cash song My Name is Sue or others that have a nice hook like, "Son of a gun, we'll have big fun, on the Bayouuu!" Hank Williams.
