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 dear mama's only son
With no idea what I'm going to 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 lot of pain in me
And it will always remain in me
So cold, it's a crying shame
But here I am, trying again
Cause I refuse to die in vain
The circumstance put soul in me
And there ain't no holding me
I got a heart made of gold in me
Ha, 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 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

I wanna thank you morning sun
I wanna thank you lowly dirt
Now I know I'm not the only one

I wanna thank you friendly ghost
When all the calls were close
It seems like you cared the most

I wanna thank you Mom and Dad
For hurting me so bad
But you're the best I ever had
I wanna thank you...
