Lyrics
Wakin’ up next to myself like this Wasn’t on my life’s ambitions list Rollin’ over to run into a shepherd’s face Wasn’t all I thought I’d get For a morning embrace Didn’t have this on my bingo card Life’s curveballs breakin' down so hard I’ll take a fastball any day of the week To get back on a hittin’ streak But it’s better than a foul ball to the dome Better than a hurricane hittin’ your home Better than a catfish kissin’ your parts Take this lesson to heart There’s always somethin’ worse And somethin’ better That was so sad for Lieutenant Dan Missing his destiny out in Viet Nam Or Matt Foley, the motivation man Lived a lonely life in the back of a van Down by the river Baseball, two words Bill Buckner Kept a curse alive and couldn't hide From the biggest fusterclucker ever seen When he let that ball Go in between Yeah, it’s better than a foul ball to the dome Better than a hurricane hittin’ your home Better than a catfish kissin’ your parts Take this lesson to heart There’s always somethin’ worse And somethin’ better How about the dude who invented Jarts Steel tipped missiles For kids in the yard Then there’s the one who gave us Clackers Shattering balls of glass In a pretty package I mean, come on What were these folks thinkin' Not exactly like the guy who made Lincoln Logs As I recall, an immediate hit But how the flip Do some of those pieces fit That’s who we should aspire to be Take the bull by the horns And be a real go-getter And no matter what you do Remember Lots of things are Better than a foul ball to the dome Better than a hurricane hittin’ your home Better than a catfish kissin’ your parts Take this lesson to heart There’s always somethin’ worse And somethin’ better Now I know there’s always somethin’ worse Any day I’ll put this train in reverse Somethin’s comin’ I can feel it Somethin’ better Then I see that pretty face Lets me believe it’ll be OK Yeah, gonna shepherd these blues away Yeah, there ain’t at all Nothin' I recall When a bark and a nuzzle Keeps your soul together I think I got it now There’s absolutely nothin’ better Nothin’ better Nothin’ better Nothin’ better Nothin’ better
