Okay

Okay

Gettin’ by - by the skin of my teeth,
hangin’ on by a thread,
There’s a wolf been hangin’ outside my door,
he’s wanting to be fed.

No use askin’ how I got to this place and why,
Only thing that’s gonna get me through
Is to keep holdin’ my head up high.

It’s all good, I’m hangin’ in there,
Like the old folks said, I’m doin’ fair to middlin’,
Any day above ground is gonna be a good day,
Like Mr Charlie used to say,
Hey, it’s gonna be OK.

All these talking head fools sayin’ it’s a lost cause,
I’m callin’ bull,
‘Cause my mama didn’t raise no fool,
I say that they’re full.

I’m thinkin’ maybe this is some kind of test,
To count myself as down and out
Or to count myself as blessed.

Chorus

Now the cupboard is empty and so are my pockets,
It’s just a streak of bad luck,
‘Cause I remember that song that Mother Maybelle sang,
sayin’ keep your sunny side up.

And it’s a moot point askin’ how I got to this place and why,
Only thing that’s gonna get me through
Is keep holdin’ my head up high.

Okay, it’s Okay
