A Little Better

Now I can sing you the storyline

And if you like my story, fine,

But ain't none of the glory mine

See, my life was a lonely one

And I was dear mama's only son

With no idea what I'm going to become

And I didn't have long to know

That you don't have to be grown to go

I could've died so long before

Then I finally saw the sign

And I made it on down the line

One step at a time



I feel better

I can smile at it now

I feel better

Oh, better

And even a little is still better

Oh have mercy on me



Oh it's probably plain to see

That I got a lot of pain in me

And it will always remain in me

So cold, it's a crying shame

But here I am, trying again

Cause I refuse to die in vain

The circumstance put soul in me

And there ain't no holding me

I got a heart made of gold in me

Ha, can you believe this is where I've been?

And when adversity comes again

I'll deal with it then



I feel better

I can laugh at it now, I feel better

Oh, better

And even a little is still better

Oh, have mercy on me



I said everything's fine, you can take your time

What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dying

I would wanna just feel this one more time

I said everything's fine, take your time

What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dying

I would wanna just feel this one more time



I wanna thank you morning sun

I wanna thank you lowly dirt

Now I know I'm not the only one



I wanna thank you friendly ghost

When all the calls were close

It seems like you cared the most



I wanna thank you Mom and Dad

For hurting me so bad

But you're the best I ever had

I wanna thank you...
