[Chorus]
Well, I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
Don't know why things keep going right for me
All I've ever done is run wild and free
I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be

[Verse 1]
Well, I guess I must've done something right
Some other time or place, maybe some other life
There's no way I deserve how I've been blessed
If it was up to me, I'd still be a mess

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
Don't know why things keep going right for me
All I've ever done is run wild and free
I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be

[Bridge]
And oh, I don't wanna wake up
I just wanna keep living this dream
Oh, I could never make up
Anything as good as what's happening to me

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Well, I try my best, but I can do no wrong
Blues come my way, but they never stay long
I thought I had it all when I didn't have a buck
It ain't easy having all the luck

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
Don't know why things keep going right for me
All I've ever done is run wild and free
I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be

[Outro]
All I've ever done is run wild and free
I'm a whole lot better than I ought to be
