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 momma    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, and 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
