About Lucky Man

"Lucky Man" is a song written by David Cory Lee and Dave Turnbull and recorded by American country music duo Montgomery Gentry. It was released in January 2007 as the second single from the duo's 2006 album Some People Change. The song became their third number one single on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and stayed there for two weeks.

The song received a 2008 nomination for Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, the duo's first nomination. 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, "But 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 song's second line, "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 both the professional and college sports leagues were used (in place of the Cincinnati Bengals) in these different edits, depending on the market.
