I Can’t Complain

Lyrics/ Music – David Storey – 2014 – Socan

Sarah drives the school bus
Lord knows we can use the cash.
Me I fix small engines
Out back in my garage.
I like the way the leaves change in the fall.
I like fireworks on the long weekend.
I like a case of beer and hockey on TV.
I can’t complain

Won’t sing a sad refrain
Cause sunshine follows rain
And the world will turn again
I can’t complain

Jimmy joined the forces
He said it’s what he was born to do.
They gave him a gun and sent him to the Middle East
We love him hope he gets home soon.
I like the colored lights at Christmas.
I like the way the snow drifts up against my shed.
I like the smell of wheat after its’ been cut.

I can’t complain
Won’t sing a sad refrain
Cause sunshine follows rain
And the world will turn again
I can’t complain

My granddad lost his leg in the first of the great wars.
He never owed a dime or made an excuse
Me I like to keep it simple don’t let the world turn my head
I only take what I can use.

I can’t complain
Won’t sing a sad refrain
Cause sunshine follows rain
And the world will turn again

I can’t complain
