Woke up this morning

above the ground

not crazy about it here

but at least I'm not down

with the worms and the grubs

and all those crawly things

I woke up this morning

above the ground 

I hope I get this lucky again tomorrow

This world's full of meaness

and beauty as far as the eyes can see

I got a secret for you

I'm not the man I thought I'd be

Now I'm not complaining

there's no one to listen anyway

but if there was someone to listen

I might complain all day

Woke up this morning

Above the ground

I hope I get this lucky again tomorrow
