I'm Blessed

Brendan Benson


My mother raise me single-handedly 
In a Louisiana hell called Harvey 
I never know what I'm supposed to be 
Turned over every rock for clues 
Of what it is to be me 
And I never know what's going on 
But I'm blessed and I guess 
And I swim in the streets when it rains 
And I've seen grown men act so insane 
But now the weather has changed 
But in my head the climate's still the same 
I still feel pain each time I hear my name 
But I never know what's going on 
But I'm blessed and I guess 
And I used to be so flattered 
But now I just feel shattered 
And I try not to think about it 
My head's already clouded 
And I have castanet fingers 
And I sweat bullets when I'm triggered 
And I'd like to wind up with someone like her 
And we'll live happily ever after 
But it won't matter that I'm a little scattered 
And I never know what's going on 
But I'm blessed and I guess
