Lyrics
(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)
