It's been two weeks since I've seen my kids    'Cause my ex-wife won't take my calls   They changed my shift at work   It's getting cold and my shoulder hurts   But here I am, copin' with it all      Dealin' with the traffic, reelin' from the fumes   Dealin with the everywhere I look bad news   And wonderin' how on earth I should be feelin'   I'm dealin' with my taxes and my 401k   Dealin' with losin' more ground every day   And reachin' for a dream I still believe in   So I keep on dealin'      My best friend Joe just lost his mama   And someone stole my sister's car   Oh but, they'll get by as long as there's   A thread of hope and a chain of prayer   I know it's not been easy but so far      They're dealin' with the doctors, reelin' from the pain   Dealin' with the clouds and cursin' at the rain   And wonderin' how on earth they should be feelin   Dealin' with the cost just to get from A to B   Dealin' with the crazies and the crime in the streets   And reachin' for a dream they still believe in   So they keep on dealin'      This Ol' world keeps turnin' around   The sun comes up and the sun goes down   But it sure helps knowin' that you're not alone   Cause everyone is      Dealin' witht the traffic, reelin' from the fumes   Dealin with the everywhere we look bad news   And wonderin' how on earth we should be feelin'   Yeah, I'm still dealin' with the creditors that I can't pay   Livin' on a vision of a brighter day   And reachin' for a dream I still believe in   So I keep on dealin'      Oooooooh, well I'm gonna keep on dealin'   Oooooooh, yeah, yeah      Oh, I'm gonna keep on dealin   Yeah, I'm dealin', I'm just dealin', ooooooooh    I'm just dealin'      And I'm gonna keep on dealin'   And we're all dealin with the traffic, reelin from the fumes
