I've been better, I've been worse I've been blessed, and I've been cursed Ain't dead last, and I ain't in first Not everything's gonna go my way I've been better, I've been worse I'm right on purpose and unrehearsed Singin' in the chorus, when I need more verse Not everything's gonna go my way So I push too hard, I lean too far Thinkin' I can have it all Then I stumble just a little, I end up in the middle Thanking God Almighty I didn't lose it all I've been better, I've been worse I can do without the doctor but I need my nurse My heart's beatin' steady, but it's in reverse Not everything's gonna go my way So I push too hard, and lean too far Thinkin' I can have it all Then I stumble just a little, and I end up in the middle Banging my head against a brand new wall I've been better, I've been worse I got a yin yang thing and a tie for first I guess I ain't the center of the universe Not everything's gonna go my way I've been worse, I text with the best but I can't converse I got a little money but it's in her purse Not everything's gonna go my way
