I was driving today, had the I-pod on the speakers and was enjoying the sunny day. Heard it come on and this time this track, that I already liked, send shivers up my spine. I was driving and tears were rolling down, cause It is the perfect illustration of how I feel. Might be comforting to someone else too, it is to me at least.
If you want to listen to it, here's the link (1st fifteen seconds or so are from another song and kinda out there)

Lyrics below:
"A Little Better"
Now I can sing you the storyline
And if you like my story fine
But ain't none of the glory mine
See my life was a lonely one
And I was still momma's only son
With no idea what I'm gon' become
And I didn't have long to know
That you don't have to be grown to go
I could have died so long before
Then I finally saw the sign
And I made it on down the line
One step at a time
I feel better
I can smile at it now, I feel better
Oh, better
And even a little, is still better
Oh, have mercy on me
Oh it's probably plain to see
That I got a whole lot of pain in me
And it will always remain in me
So cold, it's a cryin shame
Yet here I am, tryin again
Cause I refuse to die in vain
The circumstances put soul in me
And there ain't no holdin me
I've got a heart made of gold in me
can you believe this is where I've been?
And when adversity comes again
I'll deal with it then
I feel better, I can laugh at it now
I feel better, Oh better
And even a little, is still better
Oh, have mercy on me
Ah-ahhh
I said everything's fine, you can take your time
What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dying
I would wanna just feel this one more time
I said everything's fine, take your time
What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dying
I would wanna just feel this one more time
I wanna thank you morning sun
I wanna thank you lonely girl
Now I know I'm not the only one
I wanna thank you friendly ghost
When all the cards were close
It seems like you cared the most
I wanna thank you Mom and Dad
For hurtin me so bad
But you're the best I ever had
I wanna thank you
