Thank Misery
JILL SOBULE
If I hadn't always been depressed
I'd climbed that golden ladder of success and if I hadn't been so blue
Thank misery for bringing me to you.
If only I 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
