lyrics

(Hook)
I'm blowing smoke clouds on a clear day
Counting money in the sun while I'm sipping rose
First time in a while everything been okay
One of those days
it's just one of those days
(repeats)

(verse 1)
I've been winning like I need to find a slot machine
Stars all lined up take that money to the bank
Couldn't have happened at a better time 'cause honestly
I wasn't sure how much left I had in the tank
'cause I been swimming up the waterfall these past few years
I almost drowned but now I made it to the banks
Now things are look like staring at the atmosphere
No more excuses all I got to give is thanks

(bridge)
And truth be told I almost didn't make it baby
I flew too close to not flying at all
And you should know there was nothing then that could have saved me
I was determined to fall

(repeat hook)

(verse 2)
I been grinning like my mama won the lottery
Feeling better than I ever thought I could
Cause there's been moments when I thought the world might swallow me
A couple times there when I almost wished it would
But then I caught a break while surfing on that bottom rock
Was so surprised I almost fell right where I stood
Cause I was on the verge of camping out in parking lots
Was on the verge of almost giving up for good

(repeat bridge)

(repeat hook 2x)

(instrumental break)

(repeat hook 2x)
