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
