I'm Blessed Lyrics - Brendan Benson

My mother raised me single-handedly 

In a Louisiana hell called Harvey 

I never know what I'm supposed to be 

Turned over every rock for clues 

Of what it is to be me 

And I never know what's going on? 

But I'm blessed and I guess 

And I swim in the streets when it rains 

And I've seen grown men act so insane 

But now the weather has changed 

But in my head the climate's still the same 

I still feel pain each time I hear my name 

But I never know what's going on 

But I'm blessed and I guess 

And I used to be so flattered 

But now I just feel shattered 

And I try not to think about it 

My head's already clouded 

And I have castanet fingers 

And I sweat bullets when I'm triggered 

And I'd like to wind up with someone like her 

And we'll live happily ever after 

But it won't matter that I'm a little scattered 

And I never know what's going on 

But I'm blessed and I guess
