Jill Sobule - Thank Misery Lyrics

If I hadnt always been depressed
I'd climbed that golden ladder of success
And if I hadnt 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 Ive lost
The drinks Ive served, the friends Ive tossed
Thank misery, shes had enough of me

If I could go back in a time machine
I wouldnt buy a ticket, well maybe
But Im so happy now, I swear its true
Thank misery for bringing me to you

But Im so happy now, I swear its true
Thank misery for bringing me
God bless the pain that set me free
Thank misery for bringing me to you
