lyrics

Yesterday I lost a bet I never should’ve made, and I
Passed a few bad checks off ‘cause I thought that I’d been paid
And then I lost my temper with my wife, though it was all my fault,
It was something someone else had said that got my all pissed off
And so I got to feeling guilty, as I am wont to do, and I stared into mirror and said, “What the hell is wrong with you?”

But I battled back the bad thoughts,
bit the bullet, rolled my sleeves up,
Took a deep breath, put the bottle down,
and put my ass the bed, and I

Woke up feeling better, I don't know why
I'm always surprised that the
Morning comes, and what is done is done
Best to hit that reset button sometimes

I have never been the kind who found it easy to let go, you know I’m
Prone to react overly, I’m prone to let my feelings show, and
While you say you like that I can say what’s on my mind, just one
Time I’d like to be the kind of guy who never even thinks there’s
Any possibility he’s wrong or bad or not the center
Of the whole damn universe; yeah, that’d be the shit, but then you

Tell me that you love me,
and you leave me to my thoughts, and
despite all my instincts, I do not what I want,
but what I ought, and I

Wake up feeling better, I don't know why
I'm always surprised that the
Morning comes, and what is done is done
Best to hit that reset button sometimes

There's never gonna be a better time
You better figure out what you're about
and leave the rest behind

And if you ever get to feeling that you can’t see yourself through,
And your bad habits let you down again just like they always do,
Well, I don’t have no answers, but I have been there before, and maybe what has worked for me sometimes
will work for you, is all; and now
I don’t mean to preach to you; this ain’t no soapbox song, but I
Guarantee the proverb’s true, it’s darkest ‘fore the dawn, and if you

Find a way to settle, sit, and
let go for a while, then maybe
Every now and then you’ll sleep
and wake up with a smile, yeah you’ll

Wake up feeling better, I don't know why
I'm always surprised that the
Morning comes, and what is done is done
Best to hit that reset button sometimes

And I've even gone so
far as to thank God
Does that make me a fraud?
Yeah, well, who gives a hell?
Today I'm doing well
