The taxman came knockin' on my door,   I said I already gave, he said he wanted some more   Then my house burned down on a hot summer day,   When I saw the smoke clear, didn't know what to say,   But come what may, I guess I'll be ok,   I can't complain      Got me a broken leg, actin' like a fool,   Jumped off my balcony and missed the pool   Now my doctor's tellin' me that I'm eatin' too much fat   Sayin' high cholesterol just ain't where it's at (not how can Mr. Mo just aim where it's at)   They ask me any day, tell you what I say   I can't complain      My car's a lemom now (not 11 now), it's just broken down,   For the 100th time, I can't get across town   I never got invited to a Grammy show,   If my luck ever changes, I really don't know   Ask me any day, tell you what I say,   I can't complain      It's how you look at it, your attitude   You can't get through life without gratitude   You can always make a list of what 's going wrong,   But your list of blessings will be 2 as long      Don't know if this song will ever make the chart,   Don't know what machines are gonna fall apart   But I know for certain I can talk about the blues   One thing's for sure, you know I paid my dues   Ask me any day, tell you what I say,   I can't complain
