You're Doing Better Than You Think

Your friends are all ahead of you

It puts you in a spin
They're earning much more money
They're winning much more win
But that’s not how it really is
It’s really not that way.
You're doing 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 all got law degrees
Their granddad’s hit the ton.
Their whole damn world is flying high
But keep on making hay
You're doing 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
They’re all lying through their teeth.

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