Lyrics Better and Worse - Clint Black

Better and Worse

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
