Amongst the cypress and quartz I roamed
I learned to wince at the church bell’s toll
Preferred katydids and thunder’s roll
It never felt all bad
Wanted for nothin' with a bad luck streak
I turned?a?rock?over in every?creek
Whistled strong because?my body was weak
It didn’t feel all bad
[Chorus]
Can’t complain, cuz who would listen?
You wouldn’t envy my position
Engineered imploding or the way that she goes
Only my eyes will glisten
[Verse 2]
Moved to a hollow at the plateau’s cusp
I talked to barred owls and bats at dusk
Cornered by cul-de-sacs and craving th? rust
It kinda felt all bad
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I grew a little into d?afening rage
Every hometown's a well-built cage
Be it high iron, highway, or stage
Don’t let it be all bad
I’ve been indebted to a surgeon’s blade
Probation officers and nerves that frayed
Only the choiceless ever gladly stay
Refuse to be all bad
[Chorus]
Can’t complain, cuz who would listen?
You wouldn’t envy my position
Engineered imploding or the way that she goes
Only my eyes will glisten
[Verse 4]
We bury friends and try to share our pain
November hurricanes and acid rain
They built to burn but we will live to maintain
Because it ain't all bad  9/18/2023 10:32:20 PM
