Jill Sobule Thank Misery Lyrics

Thank Misery Lyrics

If I hadn't always been depressed

I'd climbed that golden ladder of success

And if I hadn't been so blue

Thank misery for bringing me to you



If only I stayed in my home town

Married my old sweetheart, settled down

Watched my belly swell a time or two

Thank misery for bringing me to you



Thank misery, the years I've lost

The drinks I've served, the friends I've tossed

Thank misery, she's had enough of me



If I could go back in a time machine

I wouldn't buy a ticket, well maybe

But I'm so happy now, I swear it's true

Thank misery for bringing me to you



But I'm so happy now, I swear it's true

Thank misery for bringing me

God bless the pain that set me free

Thank misery for bringing me to you
