about

How Did I Get So Lucky (originally released as How Did I Get Here) was written by Amanda Cross and Alex Salzman. Alex was also the producer on this track. The song is an homage to Amanda growing up in Oklahoma and moving to the big city of New York. It's about how home is always where your heart is no matter how far your life may take you.

lyrics

I grew up in a small town full of small town dreams
A place where nobody ever thought of leaving
I knew my neighbors like I knew my family
the kind of people who would give you anything
I would look up at the stars at the end of the day
I would wish upon each one and i'd say

How did I get so lucky
How did I deserve this
how did i get to be so blessed
how did i get here
how did i get so lucky
I guess you gotta stop for a minute to look at what you been given (yeah)
How did I get here

Time flies when you're growing up in a small town
before you know it you're out there on your own
from the ends of the earth far away I think of you
always calling me back/ you're my home
Oh i've seen skyscrapers and big city lights
They can't compare to those wide open skies

How did I get so lucky
How did I deserve this
how did i get to be so blessed
how did i get here
how did i get so lucky
I guess you gotta stop for a minute to look at what you've been given (yeah)
How did I get here?

Oh and you never know what you have until it's gone
you think the grass may be greener on the other side but you're so wrong
I grew up in a small town full of small town dreams
A place where nobody ever thought of leaving

how did I get so lucky
How did I deserve this
how did i get to be so blessed
how did i get here
how did i get so lucky
I guess you gotta stop for a minute to look at what you've been given (yeah)
How did I get here

Amanda Cross New York, New York

If you take the pop appeal of Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain and mix it up with the cool edge of Lana Del Rey and smart songwriting of Brandi Carlisle, that is where we find the artistry of Amanda Cross. You’ll find yourself on a ride up the PCH with “Malibu Daydream” or through a dark alley with the Hitchcockian vibes of “Phantom”, ending up at her country pop roots with “How Did I Get Here”. ... more
