Lyrics
Never Been Better (Jeff Dayton) My old man, he’s a real piece of work Bald head and a blue collar shirt Tell you jokes, make you laugh till it hurts Just to see you smile Every morning’s the same toast & eggs Drives a four door paid-for Chevrolet I don’t think he’s ever seen a bad day ‘Cept when Grandma died Anytime anyone ever asks him how he’s doing It’s the same grin, the same line every time Never been better Never had day that beat the way I feel right now No way, no how Never been nothing to compare With the rush of just being here Living a life so good it oughtta last forever I might have been stronger-faster-younger But I never been better I used to hear my old man saying grace Asking Lord, please bless this dinner plate Thank you for our health and another day And if you don’t mind Please bless that woman sitting there In her grandma’s cane back wooden chair Greenest eyes I’ve seen anywhere She’s the love of my life Ain’t a man anywhere ever been as blessed as me Lotta girls in this world, but far as I’ve seen Never been better Never been a woman love me just the way I was But that’s what she does Never been nothing to compare With the rush of her being here Living a love so good it oughtta last forever I might have been stronger, faster, younger But I’ve never been better Yeah, that’s the kind of man he is That’s the kind of man I wanna be That’s the kind of way I wanna feel when they ask me And if you ask me Repeat chorus 1
