I Can’t Complain

Caroline Spence


I've had flat tires and bad ideas
And I’ve been there when I should have been here
I've been burned in the sunshine
I've been stuck out in the rain
But after all, I can’t complain

I've been caught red-handed
I've been caught off guard
I've been caught watching the grass
Grower greener in the neighbor's yard
And I've got a to-do list the size of Spain
After all, I can't complain

Yeah, 'cause if I die tomorrow
They'll find me with a roof over my head
There's a chance there was eloquence
In the very last words I said
It's all love and it's all pain
So after all, I can't complain

And I have drank till I forgot
And I have taken the impossible half-court shot
Yeah, I've lived large and I’ve loved in vain
After all, I can't complain

Yeah, 'cause if I die tomorrow
They'll find me with a roof over my head
There's a chance there was eloquence
In the very last words I said
It's all love and it's all pain
So after all, I can't complain

I've been the belle of the ball
I've been the beast of burden
And I've been known to leave a heart hurting
Yeah, I've been one-of-a-kind
I've been one and the same
But after all, I can't complain

Yeah, 'cause if I die tomorrow
They'll find me with a roof over my head
There's a chance there was eloquence
In the very last words I said
It's all love and it's all pain
After all, I can't complain

Yeah, you get what you give
If you don't give to gain
So after all, I can't complain
