You might be a playboy Big time Romeo
Drive those ladies crazy Everywhere you go
But man before you know it
Your playing days are through
Those ladies say I don’t want
Some old fool like you (chorus)

(chorus) (I say you ) Better count your blessings ‘Cause tomorrow might be your turn (Oh yeah)
Those blues give a lesson Everybody’s got to learn

You might be Mr. Normal
Mr. Middle of the Road
You wake up one fine morning
Ready to explode
Gonna quit your job Gotta leave your wife
Grab some little bombshell and blow apart your life. (chorus)

(You know you) Better count your blessings ‘Cause tomorrow might be your turn
Those blues give a lesson Everybody’s got to learn (break)

Do everything they tell you
Do everything you should
There’s still a million ways that you can mess up good
You never signed no contract. Got no guarantee
You might be walking tall and the next down on your knees
You might have lots of money Buying everything you want
A mansion on a hill Big ol Cadillac out front
But man before you know it Got to lay your burden down
Won’t all your million dollars Grab you back off from the ground (chorus)

Better count your blessings ‘(babe) Cause tomorrow might be your turn
Those blues give a lesson Everybody’s got to learn

Well the blues give a lesson Everybody’s got to learn
