(R. Rutherford/G. Teren/J. L. Thurston)

I ain't got it all that bad
There's tougher lives I might've had
Sometimes I live hand to mouth
But there are those that go without
Might be things I wish I had
But when I look at where I'm at
I ain't got it all that bad

In my time I've tried it all
Free love, drugs and alchohol
Got loaded up to kiss the sky
Just about kissed the world good-bye
There were those who never made it back
Me, I got lucky, found a landing pad
Hey, I ain't got it all that bad

I've got the sunshine and a few good friends I've found
A roof to give me shelter when the rain comes down
I've got tomorrow and the promise that it brings
A few chances still worth taking and a dream that still has wings

These days I don't ask for much
Just the grace of God and my woman's touch
Strength each day to face a fight
And a place in someone's prayers at night
Life enough to love and laugh
If I end up with half of that
I ain't got it all that bad
I ain't got it all that bad
I ain't got it all that bad
