Better Than I Deserve

It's cold out this mornin', it's raining, it's pourin'
My back's acting up, but so what, I'm alive and I'm breathin'
My baby's still mad from that fight that we had
But her stomping around in the kitchen sure beats her leavin'I'm doin' better that I deserve
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse
There's a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse
All things considered, I'm doin' better than I deserveWell, maybe someday all the debt'll be paid off
I'll have all I want, but for now, hey, I don't mind dreamin'
'Cause I got what I need, got this house with some trees in the yard
I got kids and a wife and a life I believe inI'm doin' better that I deserve
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse
There's a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse
All things considered I'm doin' better than I deserveI'm doin' better than I deserve
The wolf ain't at my door, and I ain't out of work
And don't matter how bad it gets, someone somewhere's got it worse
All things considered, I'm doin' better than I deserveIt's cold out this mornin', it's raining, it's pourin'
My back's acting up, but guess what, I'm alive and I'm breathin'
Oh yeah, thank you, well, maybe someday all the debt'll be paid off
