A Little Better

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 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'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 whole lot of pain in me

And it will always remain in me

So cold it's a crying shame

Yet here I am trying to gain

'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 calls 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

Ah ah, yeah, um, oh, oh

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

Alright

I want to thank you morning sun

I want to thank you lonely girl

Now I know I'm not the only one

I want to thank you friendly ghost

When all the cards were close

It seems like you cared the most

I want to thank you mom and dad

For hurting me so bad

But you're the best I ever had

I want to thank you
