In a Lifetime - Daniel Johnston

In a lifetime

You wear a lot of socks

See a lot of shows

Eat a lot of food

In a lifetime

You chew a lot of gum

Drink a lot of pop

Watch a lot of TV

But what we got here

Doesn’t happen very often

No, it doesn’t happen very often

What we got here

What we got here

Word gets around

When you’re down

Or when you’re happy

People know

But I don’t care

What people say

Cause today

Today I’m glad

Today I’m glad

And all the bad times

Seem almost worth it

Because they got me where I’m at

And where I’m at is pretty good

And I’m glad

Today I’m glad, yeah

Today I’m glad

Today I’m… I’m glad

In a lifetime time you take a lot of shit

Put in a lot of hours

A lot of things turn sour

In a lifetime

A lot of things come natural

A lot of things not so natural

A lot of things never come

But what we got here

Doesn’t happen very often

No, it doesn’t happen very often

What we got here

What we got here

Nothing ever lasts

Take the past for instance

It’s dead and gone

Nothing lasts for long

But today I’m glad

Today I’m glad

Today I’m glad

Today I’m glad

Today I’m glad

Today I’m glad, yeah

Today I’m glad

Today I’m glad

And though tomorrow may be really lousy

And I may feel really crummy

Tomorrow is not today and I feel okay

I am glad

Today I’m glad

Today I’m glad

Glad, glad, glad, glad

Glad, glad, glad, glad

Glad, glad, glad, glad

Happy, glad, happy, glad

Happy, glad, happy, glad

Glad, happy, happy, glad

Happy, glad, happy

Oh, oh

Today I’m glad

Today I’m glad, yeah, really

Today I’m glad

Really glad

In a lifetime you wear a lot of socks
