Snider, Todd - Can't Complain Lyrics






A little out of place, a little out of tune
Sorta lost in space, racin' the moon
Climbin' the walls of this hurricane
Still overall I can't complain

All I wanted was one chance
To let freedom ring
They said I had to get a permit
Tags and everythin'

I never made it through their red tape
I got this paper hat
I got a job workin' weekdays
You want fries with that

I got nothin' to lose, I got nothin' to gain
It's like a one way ticket to cruise in that passin' lane
I can't complain

I was talkin' with my girlfriend
I told her I was stressed
I said I'm goin' off the deep end
She said give it a rest

We're all waitin' in the dugout
Wishin' we could pitch
How you gonna throw a shutout
If all you do is bitch

I got nothin' to lose, 'cause there is nothin' to gain
It's like a one way ticket to cruise in that passin' lane
I can't complain

So now I got a brand new dance
I need one more shot
I just need one last chance
I know I won't get caught

I gotta make my last stand
This time I can't be bought
But then again on the other hand
How much have you got

I got nothin' to lose, I got nothin' to gain
It's like a one way ticket to cruise in that passin' lane
I can't complain

A little out of place, a little out of tune
Sorta lost in space, racin' the moon
Climbin' the walls of this hurricane
Still overall I guess I can't complain
I can't complain, no I can't complain

    Love all of Todds music but, Can't Complain I listen to over and over. I don't know....... just something about it...... Thanks Todd.

  2. F.... ....

    Saw him on a boat near Toronto on acid.

  3. K.... P....

    Hey opened his show at heights with this song 2 days ago. Fucking rocked the whole set.

  4. S.... T....

    oh he is so stoic about his bashing of capitalism and America. if only we could have socialism he would have such a better life he's so poetic with his idiotic stupid sjw bullshit and that's what he is and that's what you are who love this guy f u.

  5. R.... D....

    One of my favorites ever - finally sang it myself! https://youtu.be/xB9JQzAdbmg

  6. E.... F....

    Love this guy !!!!

  7. D.... d....

    John Prine meter....and soul.....straight to the heart

  8. t.... s....

    Can't wait to see him live 4.20.2019 @ the Ryman, gonna some a fat ass doobie in the house of the OPRY

  9. B.... O....

    Todd's fuckin' awesome !!!

  10. F.... M....

    Great stuff

  11. G.... C....

    58 people are full of crap!

  12. L.... K....

    He's right up there with Dillon and Prime he is just 51 or 52 bout my age he will go very far if he doesn't burn out completely

  13. L.... K....

    I'd love to take a trip and not leave the farm with Todd

  14. K.... L....

    WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELVIS ANYWAYS?

  15. D.... G....

    See him live!!.....nothing phony about this artist!!

  16. l.... k....

    Never fails to lift my spirits

  17. C.... G....

    Can't wait to see him live!!

  18. P.... F....

    Just saw this. I was there! Go, Todd!

  19. C.... Y....

    How is he not finger picking?

    C.... Y....

    Chris Yeomans glad I'm not the only one wondering this. Heard this on the radio and assumed it was finger picked

  20. J.... F....

    why does everyone say he's like John prine? he doesn't sound like him, Todd Snider songs are way more laid back with a more humor in them.. don't get wrong I love prine and Snider but not seeing the resemblance

  21. T.... A....

    If it wasn't for John Prine, and google play my girl and I would have not heard of you.

    T.... A....

    See him in concert before he's dead. We're fortunate to live in such a time

  22. T.... A....

    Guess you won't be dancing without your d-shoes. That's what my girl said.

  23. A.... L....

    Been Prine fan since 1974. Todd, I can't complain,

  24. T.... ....

    If you told me John Prine had written this song I would believe you... except it's so Todd Snider, it's not hard to believe he did!

  25. E.... S....

    Looks like 23 people do nothing but complain. He has a verse in there for them... probably hit too close to home.

  26. L.... J....

    Love Mr. Todd

  27. e.... Z....

    I see Cobain without the following.

    e.... Z....

    @Kevin Palombi I mean he's killing himself. It's sad

  28. D.... D....

    Were all waitin' in the dugout
    Wishin' we could pitch
    How you gonna throw a shutout
    If all you do is bitch

    ~ Brilliant

  29. E.... M....

    As close to Prine as you'll ever come!

  30. c.... ....

    I'm going to make my last stand and this time I can't be bought...
    on the other hand......
    how much have you got?

  31. C.... ....

  55. s.... ....

    discovered him Freshman in HS. Songs for the Daily Planet. Missed out since.
    Enjoying the shit out of getting caught up. Talent like this is understood by the few. ..and I like it that way.

  56. S.... ....

    THIS MAN MAKES ME smiiiiiiillllle!!!!!!! :)

  57. a.... ....

    @afterglow2020 ... is cribbing another word for stealing? i'm sure he gives much credit and respect to prine... but you can't fault an artist for having similar style to another artist who came first... todd has a lot to say too... and i'm sure john prine likes todd as well

  58. P.... S....

    where can i get this video

  59. a.... ....

    This guy is cribbing straight from John Prine

    a.... ....

    Todd has a talent for songwriting he learned from the best of the best songwriters. Many of his songs can be traced back to other songs by the artists he admires with great respect. He has no reservations in admitting that and you will hear him say it himself on live recordings. in my opinion, the recognizable familiarity contained within his music is part of what makes his songs so instantly held dear to the hearts of such a large audience. So heres to Todd and Townes Van Zant, Robert Earl Keen, Joe Ely, Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Bob Dylan, Steve Earl, Carl Hayes, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, John Haitt, Leon Russell, Lyle Lovett, Neil Diamond, Michael Nesmith (and also include all the others not mentioned here) who write songs we love so much.

  60. K.... H....

    How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch?

  61. B.... N....

    @johnsstime let's locate him and send him hate mail

  62. J.... S....

  63. J.... S....

    @DenneyR Pretty cool comment, but good Lord man, become less tone deaf.

  64. O.... ....

    1 person has no idea what musical genius is!

  65. S.... S....

    Gosh, I didn't mean to duplicate ... I really wasn't laughing that much :)

  71. M.... ....

    Great version!!!! You can't trust them screen printing folk.... They don't know their head from a whole in the screen.... LOL

  72. B.... S....

    @ZachTraxler in a time of autotune and digital doctoring of everything you hear, his faults and pureness are pleasent and honest on the ears. Take the stick out of your ass and enjoy this for what it is.

  73. M.... C....

    Really looking forward to seeing Todd this weekend at the Opera House. Jim Thorpe PA...

  74. R.... ....

    @ZachTraxler well, he did fight a prescription drug addiction for a multitude of years...

  77. A.... ....

    all I've done today is listen to Todd Snider who I recently discovered

  78. p.... ....

    first todd song i ever
    in a cab in colorado
    i said turn it up
    who is that?

    now about three hundred songs later
    i just look forward to the next 300

    with hope

    i got that in a colorado taxi over 10 years ago
    a little out of place
    a little out of tune

    play one more....

  79. S.... ....

    Great song. Take it easy man.

  80. M.... ....

    I like Todd Snider.
