One Out Of Three Ain't Bad

(album: After You, Pride's Not Hard To Swallow - 1973)

I wish I never had to work another day
But I got three kids and a wife
I wish I had a lotta money just to throw away
But I got bills due all of the time
But in the loving department I don't need a thing
Cause Mama sure takes care of ol' dad
And when I get home at night she makes ever thing right
And one outta three ain't bad

I wish I had a big car to drive around town
But I guess I'll keep the one I got
Wish I had a mansion up on a hill
But I been paying on a two acre lot
Now my love life's fine I tell her all the time
She's the sweetest thing I ever had
Always a smile on her face and a warm embrace
And one outta three ain't bad

My first two kids was both little girls
But our last child was a boy
And I don't need to tell you when I saw his face
My heart was filled with joy
Now mama's doing fine looking better all the time
And I'm mighty proud of my little lad
Well like the gambler said I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead
Cause one outta three ain't bad
Like the ol' gambler said I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead
Cause one outta three ain't bad
