Couldn't Get Worse

Well, my mama, she wore a beehive
Serving TV, dinners and freeze-dried tomatoes
Living in a house of roaches
With people next door saying buenas noches
I had it good with the best of intentions
And only spent a week in the school detention
Was a bad boy, carried a knife
Till I finally got the nerve to enjoy my life
I’ll see
Things could only get better
They couldn’t get no worse
And I may leave this world broken and hungry
But I plan to have a good time first
Things got hard so I took a ride
That’s when I met a girl, she was from the East Side
It all changed when I got lazy
And that’s when the girl started driving me crazy
It wasn’t nothing but a comedy
The way she looked at me
It was easy to see
I got kicked out, didn’t have a dime
And the bottom of a bottle was a friend of mine
But all I ever wanted was a day so good
I could chill with myself in my neighborhood
I got goals like everybody else
But right now I just want to enjoy myself
You’ll see
Things could only get better
They couldn’t get no worse
And I may leave this world broken and hungry
But I plan to have a good time first
(That's right)
I’m a simple man with a simple plan
I can see the whole future in an empty hand
I never needed any sympathy
All I want is a way to live carefree
And if a big shot asks my why
I really don’t care if I live or die
I’ll just smile and walk away
And y’all gonna figure it out someday
Things could only get better
They couldn’t get no worse
And I may leave this world broken and hungry
But I plan to have a good time first
