Just a Businessman at the bar

Another meeting he’d, traveled far

Not thinking about his wife

A scented napkin in his hand

Said I’m in Room 303

Just remember to knock twice

He ordered one last shot for courage

When a man sat to his right

Raised his glass

And said, “I’m a lucky man tonight.”

You see, my wife just called

We’re having another boy

That’ll make three kids now.

Don’t they fill you with such joy?

It’s hard to be on trips like this

But I do the best I can

I’m blessed to have a family

Are you also a lucky man?

The words stung like serpent venom

He wanted to say, of course!

But the napkin in his hand

Nearly told a different course

The man asked if he had kids

He mumbled “two” with shaking hands

The man leaned in, said "let me tell you friend,

“You’ve got a chance to take a stand.

I’ve had my share of moments,

I could’ve gone astray.

But I’d never trade what I’ve got now

For some fleeting getaway.

It’s not about being perfect,

It’s about being the man you can.

So let me ask you one more time—

Are you a lucky man?”

He thought about his wife and kids

Saw their happy eyes lose spark

Felt their pain that would last for years

For his one night in the dark

He tore up the napkin

Resolute and strong

He turned to thank that man

But he looked over, he was gone

Maybe it was an angel,

He never could really tell

But that night, he walked away

From a choice that could’ve derailed.

He went home to his wife and kids,

Found strength to make a stand.

And every day, he reminds himself—

Yeah, I’m a lucky man.

I'm a lucky man.

Are you a lucky man?
