I Can't Complain Lyrics - John Mayall

The taxman came knockin' on my door, 

I said "I already gave", he said he wanted some more 

Then my house burned down on a hot summer day, 

When I saw the smoke clear, didn't know what to say, 

But come what may, I guess I'll be ok, 

I can't complain 

Got me a broke leg, actin' like a fool, 

Jumped off my balcony and missed the pool 

Now my doctor's tellin' me that I'm eatin' too much fat 

Says "high cholesterol just ain't where it's at" 

They ask me any day, tell you what I say 

I can't complain 

My car's a lemom now, it's just broken down, 

For the hundreth time, I can't get across town 

I never got invited to the Grammy show, 

If my luck ever changes, I really don't know 

Ask me any day, tell you what I say, 

I can't complain 

It's how you look at it, your attitude 

You can't get through life without some gratitude 

You can always make a list of what's going wrong, 

But your list of blessings will be twice as long
