I Can't Complain Songtext
von Todd Snider

Snider

Little out of place, little out of tune
Sorta lost in space, racin′ that moon
Climbin' the walls of a hurricane
Still overall I can′t complain.

All I wanted was one chance to let freedom ring
They said I had to get a permit, tags and everythin'
I never made it through their red tape, I got this paper hat
I got a job workin' weekdays, you want fries with that.

I got nothin′ to lose, nothin′ to gain
It's like a one way ticket to cruise in that passin′ lane
I can't complain.


I was talkin′ with my girlfriend, I told her I was stressed
I said I'm goin′ off the deep end, she said: 'God, give it a rest'
We′re all waitin′ in the dugout wishin' we could pitch
How you gonna throw a shutout if all you do is bitch.

I got nothin′ to lose, nothin' to gain
It′s like a one way ticket to cruise in that passin' lane
I can′t complain.

Now I got a brand new dance, I need one more shot
I just need one last chance, you know I won't get caught
I wanna make my last stand, this time I can't be bought
Then again on the other hand, how much have you got?

I got nothin′ to lose, nothin′ to gain
It's like a one way ticket to cruise in that passin′ lane
I can't complain.


Little out of place, little out of tune
Sorta lost in space, racin′ the moon
Climbin' the walls of this hurricane
Still overall I guess I can′t complain
Still overall I guess I can't complain
..., I can't complain.
