You're Doing Better Than You Think

Your friends are all ahead of you
Standing with a grin
Earning much more money
Winning much more win
But that’s not how it is
It’s really not that way.
You're doin' better than you think
They’re doin' worse than they say.

Their book has just been published
Their song is number one
Their kids have got a law degree
Their granddad’s hit the ton.
Their whole damn world is flying high
But keep on making hay
You're doin' better than you think
They’re doin' worse than they say.

You may feel you’re on the bottom
Just barely on your feet
But don’t give that no credence
Cos they’re all lying through their teeth

Do the best you can
It’s all that you can do
And one day you will wake to find
The sun is shining through
Until then, keep your chin up
and fighting all the way.
You're doin' better than you think
They’re doin' worse than they say.
