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
