'Cause my ex-wife won't take my calls 

They changed my shift at work 

It's getting cold and my shoulder hurts 

But here I am, copin' with it all 



Dealin' with the traffic, reelin' from the fumes 

Dealin with the everywhere I look bad news 

And wonderin' how on earth I should be feelin' 

I'm dealin' with my taxes and my 401k 

Dealin' with losin' more ground every day 

And reachin' for a dream I still believe in 

So I keep on dealin' 



My best friend Joe just lost his momma 

And someone stole my sister's car 

Oh but, they'll get by as long as there's 

A thread of hope and a chain of prayer 

I know it's not been easy but so far 



They're dealin' with the doctors, reelin' from the pain 

Dealin' with the clouds and cursin' at the rain 

And wonderin' how on earth they should be feelin 

Dealin' with the cost just to get from A to B 

Dealin' with the crazies and the crime in the streets 

And reachin' for a dream they still believe in 

So they keep on dealin' 



This Ol' world keeps turnin' around 

The sun comes up and the sun goes down 

But it sure helps knowin' that you're not alone 

Cause everyone is 



Dealin' witht the traffic, reelin' from the fumes 

Dealin with the everywhere we look bad news 

And wonderin' how on earth we should be feelin' 

Yeah, and I'm still dealin' with the creditors that I can't pay 

Livin' on a vision of a brighter day 

And reachin' for a dream I still believe in 

So I keep on dealin' 



Oooooooh, well I'm gonna keep on dealin' 

Oooooooh, yeah, yeah 



Oh, I'm gonna keep on dealin 

Yeah, I'm dealin', I'm just dealin', ooooooooh 

I'm just dealin' 



And I'm gonna keep on dealin' 

And we're all dealin with the traffic, reelin from the fumes
