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 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 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 thing'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 every thing'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 wanna thank you morning sun I wanna thank you lowly dirt 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 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
