Maybe two time, maybe four
Seven, eight, or even more
Could be worse off, could be worse
Fat chances growing thin
But even David had his sling
Could be worse off, could be worse
Could be worse, Lord, could be worse
Could be five foot and some change in the dirt
Could be worse, Lord, could be worse
But life could be better and my denim could be leather
Counting blessings don’t shed a curse
See that butcher cut that meat
At least I ain’t what I eat
Could be worse off, could be worse
Feeling low down and sick
But some things penicillin can’t fix
Could be worse off, could be worse
My wallet’s running thin
But some pockets just got lint
Could be worse off, could be worse
Could be worse, Lord, could be worse
My paycheck could be flowing in reverse
Could be worse, Lord, could be worse
But life could be better and my pillow could be feather
Could be restin’ instead of workin’
Workin’, workin’, workin’
Maybe two time, maybe four
Seven, eight, or even more
Could be worse off, or it could be better

I made a blind purchase of the cassette edition from my local Half Price Books, and the download card that came included with it was still valid! VOIDMAKER.EXE
A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
