Lyrics

[Verse 1] For every paycheck gone too fast There's a memory that's gonna last For every hole in your boot got you a step or two closer For every goodbye, there's a hello For every bad boy, there's a good ol' Joe For every tear that falls, there's a head layin' on a shoulder [Chorus] Yeah, the world ain't as bad as you think Might be some holes in your jeans A couple more in your dreams Least you've still got 'em, yeah The song's only sad as you sing La-di-da-da-da-di Half-full over half-empty drink Sure beats the bottom, yeah The world ain't as bad as you think, ain't as bad as you think The world ain't as bad as you think, ain't as bad as you think [Verse 2] For every "hell no," there's a "hell yes" For every breakup, there's a just-met For every song you hate, there's one you can't not dance to For every wrong word, there's a right one For every black dress, there's a white one For every burnout star, there's a bright one For every put-it-out, there's a just-light-one [Chorus] The world ain't as bad as you think Might be some holes in your jeans A couple more in your dreams Least you've still got 'em, yeah The song's only sad as you sing La-di-da-da-da-di Half-full over half-empty drink Sure beats the bottom, yeah The world ain't as bad as you think, ain't as bad as you think The world ain't as bad as you think, ain't as bad as you think Yeah [Bridge] The world ain't as bad as you think The world ain't as bad as you think [Chorus] The world ain't as bad as you think Might be some holes in my jeans A couple more in your dreams Least I've still got 'em, yeah The song's only sad as you sing La-di-da-da-da-di Half-full over half-empty drink Sure beats the bottom, yeah The world ain't as bad as you think, ain't as bad as you think The world ain't as bad as you think, ain't as bad as you think The world ain't as bad as you think, ain't as bad as you think The world ain't as bad as you think, ain't as bad as you think
