Life and Living series.... Here today, tomorrow different query.... [Verse] Sunrise creeping through the blinds Another day another grind Coffee steamin' got my thoughts Tangled up in tangled knots [Prechorus] Spinning round and round No solid ground [Chorus] Could be better could be worse That's my motto that's my verse Could be better could be worse Life's a wild and crazy curse Could be better could be worse Just gotta roll with it disperse [Verse] Boss man calling on the phone Wants a report all alone Traffic jammin' on the street Sweaty palms and aching feet [Prechorus] Head up in the clouds Lost in the crowds [Chorus] Could be better could be worse That's my motto that's my verse Could be better could be worse Life's a wild and crazy curse Could be better could be worse Just gotta roll with it disperse [Verse] Morning in the busted bus seat Same rain on the same old street Bills in the bag, hole in my shoe Still got a pulse, still got you [Pre-Chorus] Could be better Could be worse I read that line Like a prayer, like a curse [Chorus] Could be better, could be worse (Chapter and verse) Could be better, could be worse (That’s the way it works) If I’m bent, I’m still here If I’m bruised, I still steer Could be better, could be worse (Chapter and verse) [Verse] Mama said, "son, don’t count the scars" Count the hands that carried you this far One bad turn, one lucky break One deep breath, one more day awake [Pre-Chorus] Could be better Could be worse I keep that line In my coat, in my purs [Chorus] Could be better, could be worse (Chapter and verse) Could be better, could be worse (That’s the way it works) If I’m bent, I’m still here If I’m bruised, I still steer Could be better, could be worse (Chapter and verse) [Bridge] I’ve seen the door stay shut I’ve seen it swing wide Same hand on the handle Same fear inside So I laugh at the lean I don’t bow to the bend I’m not at the end I’m just here again [Final Chorus] Could be better, could be worse (Chapter and verse) Could be better, could be worse (That’s the way it works) If I’m bent, I’m still here If I’m bruised, I still steer Could be better, could be worse (Chapter and verse) Could be better, could be worse (Chapter and verse)
