lyrics

©Peter Lehndorff

So far so good. I'm doin' okay. I'm doin' pretty good.
So far so good. I can't complain, knock on wood.

People think what they want to think.
They hear what we want to hear.
Some of them are prayin' that they're goin' up to heaven.
But most of us will end up right down here.
Don’t look too far forward. Don’t look too far back.
If I lose track of where I'm at, I’ll end up flat on my ass.

I used to think too much about our bucket list.
Was the glass half empty? Or was the glass just too damned big?
Woke up each morning. You were smiling at me.
When I looked in to your eyes, you were all I need.

Chorus: So far. So good. I'm doin' okay. I'm doin' pretty good.
I can't complain, knock on wood. So far. So good.

When we were fifty, things were a little iffy.
When we turned sixty I just said, “Oh what the hell.”
Things are what they were. They will be what they are.
People said we were goin' places. And we did... Just not far.

Chorus:

After every rainstorm. After that hurricane.
After it snowed like hell, the sun always comes out again.
I wish you were with me, I wish you were near.
I wish I could tell you that I'm doin' okay right here.

Chorus
