DOING OK

Doing okay, guess I'm doing kind of fine
making me a living I can still consider mine
sort of still surprised about how I did survive
picking up the pieces of a neatly shattered life

Live a little bit, try to learn a little more
all you godda do is stay ahead of that old score
staying just a little bit ahead of that old score
don't have to beat them by no landslide anymore

Doing okay, doing mighty fine
getting kind of used to this awful narrow line
awful narrow line between a muck-up and a mess
learn a little more, try to loose a little less

Loose a little bit, try to gain a little more
all you godda do is stay ahead of the old score
staying just a little bit ahead of that old score
don't have to win by no big margins anymore

Doing okay, doing all I can
ain't concerned no more about following no plan
giving up on trying to control this crazy game
never had a lot of major planning to my name

Learn a little bit, try to live a little more
all you godda do is stay ahead of that old score
staying just a little bit ahead of that old score
don't have to bring down no huge houses anymore

Doing mighty fine, doing pretty good
not as if I never really thought I ever would
all you godda do is stay ahead of that old score
nothing to it once you learn how not to worry anymore

Care a little more, worry little less
awful narrow line between a sure bet and a guess
try to figure out how not to worry anymore
finally forgetting all about this silly score
