Jill Sobule - 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

God bless the pain that set me free

Thank misery for bringing me to you
