Gratitude

You slam your finger in the door
But does it hurt now anymore
Than your broken heart
When she said she didn't love you anymore

I bet a bee sting probably hurts
But I know a snake bite's ten times worse
And if one bit you, hey
I bet you'd know the difference right away

So be thankful for
It's just a nick
and not much more
Cause nothin' is anything until
You hold it up to something else

I know the traffic's just a bore
But it beats walkin' that's for sure
When it's ten below and you're wavin' down
Some stranger you don't know

So get some perspective here
What seems so severe
Depends on what you compare it to
Let's have a little gratitude

Chorus:
And just be thankful for
You got a motor
And four doors
Cause nothin' is anything until
You hold it up to something else

Don't sweat a bad hair day
Cause after all, you could be bald
A paper cut on your tongue's
No reason to call 911

So just be thankful for
You got a shot
At one day more
Cause nothin' is anything until
You hold it up to something else
Woah...oh...
You hold it up to something else
Woah...oh...
Be glad that it isn't something else
