Well, I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
Don't know why things keep going right for me
All I've ever done is run wild and free
I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be

Well, I guess I must've done something right
Some other time or place, maybe some other life
There's no way I deserve how I've been blessed
If it was up to me I'd still be a mess

'Cause I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
Don't know why things keep going right for me
All I've ever done is run wild and free
I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be

And oh, I don't wanna wake up
I just wanna keep living this dream
Oh, I could never make up
Anything as good as what's happening to me

Well, I try my best but I can do no wrong
Blues come my way but they never stay long
I thought I had it all when I didn't have a buck
Now it ain't easy having all the luck

'Cause I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
Don't know why things keep going right for me
All I've ever done is run wild and free
I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
All I've ever done is run wild and free
I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
