Just ask that sixteen-year-old who just got that Hand-me-down old Ford instead of a new one Or that VFW vet whose check ain't got much left But just enough for a cold one They're both smiling 'Cause they realize that Something's better than nothing Just a little blessing, a little reason why We should keep going 'cause we never know when What we've been waiting for and praying for Is around the corner coming Something's better than nothing Yeah, something's better than nothing These four walls ain't no castle but this shack Will be enough to let our life grow Yeah, girl, we ain't got everything the Joneses win We can't compete, but we both know we got love, so Something's better than nothing Just a little blessing, a little reason why We should keep going 'cause we never know when What we've been waiting for and praying for Is around the corner coming 'Cause something's better than nothing Talk to anyone who got another day That thought they wouldn't get it They would tell ya, "Thank the Lord The world's still spinning And you're still in it" Something's better than nothing Just a little blessing, a little reason why We should keep going 'cause we never know when What we've been waiting for and praying for Is around the corner coming Something's better than nothing Yeah, something's better than nothing
