I've Had So Much Good Luck Happen

I Believe In What I Do. I Mean, I Don't Go Out - I Don't Have The Clothes Or Drink Anymore, I Don't Do Drugs Or Any Of That. I Used To. But I Got Very Ready To Get Me Out Of The House.

Then, Just As The Gig Was About To Start, I Put Down The Sign, Said, ‘see Ya, Guys,’ And Went Back To My Dressing Room.
