Take a look at my life
Realize I got it pretty good
Every day completely free from vice
Everybody acting how they should
Got a nice roof above my head
A closet of full of fancy clothes to wear
A girl occasionally in my bed
It ain't too often but it ain't too rare
Papa told me you don't know how lucky you are
How lucky you are, but
I can't help feelin' so small lookin' up at the stars
Up at up at the stars
If life's so easy then just tell me why I feel so blue
'Cause I've been wastin' time on beaches making clouds out of sand
I tell ya time is like an anchor that just slipped from my hands
It's draggin' me down
It's draggin' me down
Into the ground
Into the ground
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me
In the mornin' take a look in the mirror
Study every line on my face
Try my best to conceal the fear
Tired eyes and a bitter taste
Papa told me you don't know how lucky you are
How lucky you are, but
Sometimes pain you can't see don't leave no scars,
Don't leave no scars
If life's so easy then just tell me while I feel so blue
'Cause I've been wastin time on beaches making clouds out of sand
I tell ya time is like an anchor that just slipped from my hands
It's draggin' me down
It's draggin' me down
Into the ground
Into the ground
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me down
Don't let it drag me down
