how good I had it

when I was a young man
I complained both night and day
I could have majored in college
in life not going my way
I complained so damn much
it turned into a habit
it never once occurred to me
just how good I had it

now I am an old man
most of my life has past
now I complain about
how long it's going to last
when will my life take off
I want it now, dangnabit
I still don't ever realise
just how good I have it
