Lyrics Thank Misery - Jill Sobule

If I hadn? t always been depressed
I'd climbed that golden ladder of success
And if I hadn? t 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 I? ve lost
The drinks I? ve served, the friends I? ve tossed
Thank misery, she? s had enough of me

If I could go back in a time machine
I wouldn? t buy a ticket, well maybe
But I? m so happy now, I swear it? s true
Thank misery for bringing me to you

But I? m so happy now, I swear it? s true
Thank misery for bringing me
God bless the pain that set me free
Thank misery for bringing me to you
