I Ain't Got It All That Bad Lyrics

I ain't got it all that bad
There's tougher lives I might've had
Sometimes I live hand to mouth
But there are those that go without
Might be things I wish I had
But when I look at where I'm at
I ain't got it all that bad

In my time I've tried it all
Free love, drugs and alchohol
Got loaded up to kiss the sky
Just about kissed the world good-bye
There were those who never made it back
Me, I got lucky, found a landing pad
Hey, I ain't got it all that bad

I've got the sunshine and a few good friends I've found
A roof to give me shelter when the rain comes down
I've got tomorrow and the promise that it brings
A few chances still worth taking and a dream that still has wings

These days I don't ask for much
Just the grace of God and my woman's touch
Strength each day to face a fight
And a place in someone's prayers at night
Life enough to love and laugh
If I end up with half of that
I ain't got it all that bad
I ain't got it all that bad
I ain't got it all that bad

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
