Lyrics
I'm OK With That
Now, I?m not a very complicated man,
What your looking? at?s pretty much who I am
I can ridem? when their buckin? but I
Never could ropem? worth a damn
Well, I?ll never be perfect, but I know why
Nobody wins every time they try
And if they try to tell you that they do
Well, you know that?s a lie
But that?s all right
I don?t mind
You know what I say
I?m OK with that
Some might say that I?m a nary-do-well
Borderline lazy and doomed to fail
You might agree or disagree but
What the heck it?s working? for me
That?s fine
That?s all right
You know what I say
I?m OK with that
Now I used to be married but I aint no more
The woman even complained
about the clothes that I wore
She said ?you dress just like a red neck?
I said ?so, what?s your point?
Well, she got all mad and her face turned red
Then her eyes glazed over and in a strange voice she said
?your out-a here and you aint takin? nothing?
Not even your clothes
So I thought to my-self, I?ll show her
So I stripped them off,
piled them up on the floor
Then I walked buck naked out the front door
All the neighbor ladies smiled and they stared at me
They were checkin? me out
below the waist, above the knee
And along about that time, up drove the police
As they put me in the back seat to haul me in
I heard her holler from the front porch
?don?t you come back here again?
All I could do was set there and grin
I?d been given phone numbers
By three of her friends
That was all right
Yeah, you bet, that was beautiful
And I?m OK with that
It?s good to be me
I?m an easy goin? man
I work when I need to
And I play when I can
I just take life as it comes
Livin? for the day
Critical analytical contemplation
Never really was my forte
However for my particular paradigm
I find it adequately copasetic
And in simple if not linguistically vulgar summation
I shall lyrically reiterate my singularly perceived point of view
Yep, I?m OK with that
When I wake up in the morning
To the Lord I pray
Lord, you know what I?ll be needin? today
A lesson or a blessin? I?ll take either one
And thanks for all the other stuff
For me that you?ve done
Cause I?m fine
Doin? all right
It?s a good life
You know what I say
I?m OK with that
