Now I can sing you the story line 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 Momma's only son With no idea what I'm goin' 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 a lil' better I can smile at it now I feel a lil' 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 lotta pain in me And it will always remain in me So cold it's a crying shame Yet here I am trying again Cause I refuse to die in vain The circumstances put soul in me And there ain't no holding me I've got a heart made of gold in me Can you believe this is where I've been And when adversity comes again I'll deal with it then I feel a 'lil better I can laugh at it now I feel a 'lil better Oh better And even a little is still better Oh have mercy on me Woah 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-a 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-a one more time Alright I wanna thank you morning sun I wanna thank you loaded 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 hurting me so bad But you're the best I ever had I, I wanna thank you
