- Lyrics:
Now I can sing you the storyline.
And if you like my story fine.
But ain't none of the glory mine.
See my life was a lonely one.
And I was still mama's only son.
With no idea what I'm gon' become.
And I didn't have long to know.
That you don't have to be grown to go.
I could have died so long before.
Then I finally saw the sign.
And I made it on down the line.
One step at a time.
I feel better.
I can smile at it now, I feel better.
Ohhhh, better.
And even a little is still better.
Oh, have mercy on me.
Ohhh it's probably plain to see.
That I got a whole lot of pain in me.
And it will always remain in me.
So cold, it's a cryin shame.
Yet here I am, tryin again.
Cause I refuse to die in vain.
The circumstances put soul in me.
And there ain't no holdin me.
I've got a heart made of gold in me.
Hah, can you believe this is where I've been?
And when adversity comes again.
I'll deal with it then.
I feel better.
I can laugh at it now, I feel better, heh heh.
Ohhhh, better.
And even a little is still better.
Oh, have mercy on me-heeeeeeee.
I said everything's fine, you can take your time.
What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dyin.
I would wanna just feel this ah-one more time.
I said everything's fine, take yo' time.
What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dyin.
I would wanna just feel this ah-one more time.
I wanna thank you morning sun.
I wanna thank you lowly dirt.
Now I know I'm not the only one.
I, I wanna thank you friendly ghost.
When all the calls were close.
It seems like you cared the most.
I, I wanna thank you Mom and Dad
For hurtin me so bad
But you're the best I ever had
I, I wanna thank you
I relate to this song's every word. What an anthem.
Amen.
I wanna thank you morning sun
I wanna thank you loaded gun
Now I know I'm not the only one
I wanna thank you lonely ghost
When all the calls were close
Seems like you cared the most
I wanna thank you.
Dad died when I was 9. Mom worked 80+ hours a week. I taught myself what it took to be a man, while growing up as the complete opposite during my youth until I enlisted with the US Army as an infantryman. DId 2 tours in AFG and got what I was looking for... A gun in my mouth with it aimed at my brainstem. But I keep breathing, because that's the point of breathing to begin with; live. Much has happened during those 10 years now, but I am thankful for it all. Even as I care for my mother that is in the final stages of her stage IV breast cancer as I have been chipped away into a bleak shadow of my former self, I wanna thank you; I can laugh at it now.
word
Gnarls Barkley changed my life...and continues to inspire me
This is a really deep guy. Makes me want to meet you Gnarles. Thank you for making music that helps people.
its Cee-lo and danger mouse its not one person its a group
Da Koolkat when they're together they become a singularity so actually meeting Gnarls Barkley would be meeting them both, much better than just one or the other.
I am sad I JUST found this.
It makes me smile every-time I'm having a bad day.
We made it!!! Keep on holding!!!
This is a 3 minute capsule into my father's tough life...its special every time I listen to it..rip dad
I've finally found this masterpiece!
I wanna thank you Mom and Dad
For hurtin me so bad
But you're the best I ever had
I, I wanna thank you je je je je muy bueno
Lord Have Mercy

Did you go to Mays? Southwest?

Personal Anthem
Derrick Harvey 🎯for me too!!
My Life Soundtrack song!!!
Holy fuck... went through hell - took care of both my parents to their very last breath... at the same time.. They were grateful but it hurt like hell. I am over a year on and holy shit I just found this track. Goddamn!
Great song. Be grateful if you don't fully "get" the lyrics.
Sandra Waldrop so true
I like this version BETTER!!
this song is actually about his parents passing away
partially.
I've got a heart made of gold in me.
Hah, can you believe this is where I've been?
And when adversity comes again.
I'll deal with it then.
Thank you; best discovery in a while. Really speaks love it love it love it
Wow, this song is amazing. :D
Thanks bro.
It feels a little better with lyrics
i always thought 'gnarls barkley' was a single person...
Hope for the best it's in me
great song ...sounds a bit slow though. I've made this argument before, and I'm quite sure it's "A wanna thank you loaded gun ...now I know I'm not the only one..." He sings about offing himself enough, plus there was a pic of a gun on the last CD ...plus it makes more sense than "lowly dirt."
Why does this one sound different? I like it more than the other version of this song I heard, the downtrodden subtle sound fits it better.
@BarzOnTheWindow1 good call
I feel like knowone knows tjis album
@BarzOnTheWindow1 their website says 'loaded gun' so i guess you've been arguing on the right side
Now im gonna sing you a story line..
Hi!.
The hell is your problem?
What's yours?
REALLY??
It’s not “ I wanna thank you lowly dirt”
It’s, “ I wanna thank you loaded gun, now I know I am not the only one” earlier in the song he talks about learning he wasn’t too young to be gone and that he could of died long ago. He was obviously abused by his parents and thought of killing himself. The song is about fighting for life and making it to the other side, “ one step at a time”. This is all according to Danger Mouse in an MTV video after they did the promo commercial for this song that was stripped down. Beautiful song. Definitely hits a cord with me. Cheers 🥂
