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 still mama's only son

With no idea what I'm gon' become

And I didn't have long to know

That you don't have to be grown to go

I could have 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 whole lot of pain in me

And it will always remain in me

So cold, it's a cryin' shame

Yet here I am, tryin' again

'Cause I refuse to die in vain

The circumstances put soul in me

And there ain't no holdin' me

I've got a heart made of gold in me

Huh, 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 dyin'?

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 dyin'?

I would wanna just feel this one more time, alright

I wanna thank you, morning sun

I wanna thank you, lonely gun

Now, I know I'm not the only one

I, I wanna thank you, friendly ghost

When all the calls were close

It seems like you cared the most

I, I wanna thank you, Mom and Dad

For hurtin' me so bad

But you're the best I ever had

I, I wanna thank you
