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 [bad word] 
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 there's 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 [bad word] 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 things 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 things 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 where 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
