Thank Misery

Jill Sobule


if i hadn't always been depressed 
ida climbed that golden ladder of sucess and if i hadn't been so blue 
thank misery for bringing me to you. 

if only ida stayed in my home town 
married my old sweetheart, settled down 
watched my belly swell a time or two 
thank misery for bringing me to you. 

thank misery, the years i've lost 
the drinks i've served, the friends i've tossed thank misery, she's had enough of me.... 

if i could go back in a time machine 
i wouldn't buy a ticket, well maybe 
but i'm so happy now i swear it's true 
thank misery for bringing me 
god bless the pain that set me free 
thank misery for bringing me to you
