Still things could be much worse
This will blow over in time
I promised to my wife and children
My paycheck in the mail
As long as I live but even then
Natural disasters on the evening news
We still got our health
I promised to my wife and children
But at the meetings I felt so empty
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
It sounds so soothing to mix a gin
I caught a cab, ran up a tab
Won't heal the damage done
That accident left everyone a little shook up
Missed my son's graduation
Best recital, I had to run
Punched the Nickle's boy
Still things could be much worse
It sounds so soothing
I'm just an honest man
Charity organizations
This will blow over in time
I need another one
For taking his seat
And sink into oblivion
He gets all that anger from me
Still things could be much worse
On 7th and Flower
This will all blow over in time
Provide for me and mine
I give a check to tax deductible
Still things could be much worse
I'd never touch another drink
As long as I live but even then
My paycheck in the mail
We still got our health
Two weeks paid vacation
Natural disasters on the evening news
