One Of Those Lives

Rush hour traffic
Always puts me in a bad mood
I got chewed out by the boss today
And now I'm stuck on highway 92.

Then you call me on my cell phone
While I'm cussin' out a Cadillac
You say remember Tom and Jenny's little boy?
Well, the doctors say the cancer's back.

Man its been one of those days
When I been thinking poor me
I got no right to complain I guess
Cause right now all I can see.

Is a little angel in a Yankees cap
It makes me realize
It's just been one those days for me
But for him it's been one of those lives.

Everybody under my roof
Is healthy- knock on wood
Oh but I sure do sweat the small stuff
I don't thank God as much as I should.

Tonight I'm thinking about Tommy and Jenny
And how they spent the last four years
All those extended stays in Memphis
All the sleepless nights, the prayers, the tears.

It's just been one of those days
Where I was thinking poor me
I got no right to complain I guess
Cause right now all I can see.

Is that family moving back to Target House
It makes me realize
It's just been one those days for me
But for them its been one of those lives.

And so it's been one of those days
I let things get to me
I got no right to complain
Cause when I look around I see.

Folks that are fightin' for every breath
And it makes me realize
It's just been one for those days for me
But for them it's been one of those lives.
