A Little Better

[Verse 1] 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 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 have died so long before Then I finally saw the sign And I made it on down the line One step at a time [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 cryin' shame Yet here I am, tryin' again 'Cause I refuse to die in vain The circumstances put soul in me And there ain't no holdin' me I've got a heart made of gold in me Huh, can you believe this is where I've been? And when adversity comes again I'll deal with it then [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I said, everything'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 one more time I said, everything's fine, take your time What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dyin'? I would wanna just feel this one more time, alright [Outro] I wanna thank you, morning sun I wanna thank you, lonely gun 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 cared the most I, I wanna thank you, Mom and Dad For hurtin' me so bad But you're the best I ever had I, I wanna thank you
