Daddy's Birthday

I turned 40 on Thursday the 19th. No big party just me, Alice and the kids, they way I liked it. Man I need a haircut. There is a new song I like by Montgomery Gentry called Lucky Man and part of it goes like this.

"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 trucks 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"
