Trouble

[Verse 1]

I've been a beggar and I've been a king

I've been a loner and I've worn the ring

Losing myself just to find me again

I'm a million miles smarter, but I ain't learned a thing

I've been a teacher and a student of hurt

I've kept my word for whatever that's worth

Never been last, but I've never been first

Oh I may not be the best, but I'm far from the worst

Oh I may not be the best, but I'm far from the worst

[Chorus]

Oh I've seen trouble more than any man should bear

But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share

And I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there

I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from

But there's still another million miles to come

[Verse 2]

I keep on searching for the city of gold

And I'm gonna follow this yellow brick road

Thinking that maybe, it might lead me home

I'm a million miles farther and a long way from home

I know that there's a plan that goes way beyond mine

Got to step back just to see the design

The mind fears the heart, but the heart doesn't mind

Oh I may not be perfect, but I'm loving this life

Oh I may not be perfect, but I'm loving this life

[Chorus]

Oh I've seen trouble more than any man should bear

But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share

And I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there

I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from

But there's still another million miles to come
