From the recording Unsafe at Any Speed
Lyrics
I know a guy who likes to complain
He bitches when it's sunny and when it rains
Another guy just won't get along
He'll criticize and criticize and say that we're wrong
He's always looking for a fight or a spat
I don't got time for people like that
What they need's a new attitude
Today's buzzword is gratitude
So much to be thankful for
Don't need to ask for much more
Good fortune so hard to ignore
I got enough, I got enough
It's easy to feel like you don't have enough
When too many others have way too much
The grass is greener goes the cliché
I don't have time for petty envy
Take a look there's others with less
Bet you think that you're plenty blessed
Yeah, I'm lucky and I am too
Gotta express real gratitude
So much to be thankful for
Don't need to ask for much more
Good fortune so hard to ignore
I got enough, I got enough
Don't wanna sound like a Pollyanna
But don't wanna be another Cassandra
I won't say that the world is blighted
I'm not lookin' 'round just to feel slighted
Life's too short
Give yourself a break
Who's got time to bellyache
Don't get played, don't be a rube
And start to practice gratitude
