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
Momma only son
With no idea of what
I'm gonna become
And 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
Hah
Oh, better
And even a little
Is still a lil better
Oh, have mercy on me
Ooh, it's probably
Plain to see
That there's
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 again
Cause I refuse
To die in vein
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
Ha, ha
Oh, better
And even a little
Is still a lil better
Oh have mercy on me
I said every things 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 every things 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 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
Where close
It seems like you
Care 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
