"How Good We Got It" lyrics

A crooked smile and a heart of gold
She couldn't be more than nine years old
But that girl's seen some things
No kid should ever see
You wouldn't know it if you talked to her
She learned how to hide how bad things were
Her daddy held a losing hand
And doubled down when he started drinkin'
Makes you think how good you got it at the end of the day

So why stress about little things, when they don't mean a thing
And get caught up in the rat race when others are hurtin'
While knowin' how a heart breaks, they show us a better way
To live a life we take for granted
Thank god for those who show us the silver lining
And just how good we got it

Wide eyed and hell on two wheels, a little chair, rubber and steel
But that boy sure could fly, never walked a day in his life
He couldn't talk but he said it all, in how he lived so we should all
Learn a few things from a soul like that
And be grateful for the life we have

So why stress about little things, when they don't mean a thing
And get caught up in the rat race when others are hurtin'
While knowin' how a heart breaks, they show us a better way
To live a life we take for granted
Thank god for those who show us the silver lining
And just how good we got it

Stop and think of all the ways you whine about a cloudy day
While other pray, thankful for the rain

Why do we stress about little things, when they don't mean a thing
And get caught up in the rat race when others are hurtin'
While knowin' how a heart breaks, they show us a better way
To live a life we take for granted
Thank god for those who show us the silver lining
In all the ways we're constantly reminded
Just how good we got it
Just how good we got it
