Better and Worse - Clint Black

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
