Things Could Always Be Worse

(Verse 1) When the termites eat your wooden leg And the truth claims your glass eye Don’t say I never warned you, girl Don’t come to me to cry It’s just the way we roll down here It’s always been this way One step forward, two steps back Into the light of day (Instrumental) (Verse 2) Life is a raging river, Love is a tangled knot And the God that you been prayin’ to Won’t give what you ain’t got Still, every prayer is answered I believe it must be so You can ask for whatever and wait for ever And the answer can still be NO! (Chorus) Ya gotta count your blessings, darlin' Whenever you’re feelin’ cursed Look out your window, (Hook) Things could always be worse (Instrumental) You can ask whatever and wait for ever Sometimes the answer's NO! (Chorus) Ya gotta count your blessings, darlin' Whenever you’re feelin’ cursed Look out your window, (Hook) Things could always be worse (Instrumental) (Verse 3) Well, time is getting’ in short supply All we have is NOW And the past ain’t what it used to be It don’t matter anyhow Everybody suffers, baby Perhaps someday you'll see You’re more than the sum of your insecurities... (Instrumental) (Chorus) Ya gotta count your blessings, darlin' Whenever you’re feelin’ cursed Look out your window, (Hook) Things could always be worse (Instrumental) (Outro) I said look out your window, darlin'... Things could always be worse. (end) (Instrumental) (Verse 4) I hope to be forgiven When the sun sets in the west And I pray for those who have been wronged May they be so blessed We do the best that we can do We work with what we got And hope when we unpack our bags The weather ain’t too hot (Instrumental) (Chorus) Ya gotta count your blessings, darlin' Whenever you’re feelin’ cursed Look out your window, (Hook) Things could always be worse (Instrumental) (Outro) I said look out your window, darlin'... Things could always be worse. (end)
