He went in for a checkup like he does every year
The doc called next week, it was worse than he feared
Told him it was stage four, gave him six months or so
After getting news like that you'd think his faith would be broke
But he's still in that front pew on Sunday
And he still drops his ten in that plate
And he'll still put himself after everyone else
Every time with a smile on his face
You wouldn't know it looking at him
Lord knows life ain't equal
Yeah, sometimes bad things happen
To the best damn people
The best damn people
She painted that bedroom a light shade of pink
She read all the books, she planned out everything
Took 'em three years of heartbreak to hear that heartbeat
She learned the hard way that some dreams just ain't meant to be
But she still leads that choir every Sunday
And she's still singing Amazing Grace
And she'll still put herself after everyone else
Every time with a smile on her face
You wouldn't know it looking at her
Lord knows life ain't equal
Yeah, sometimes bad things happen
To the best damn people
The best damn people
Yeah, they're making the best of the cards they've been dealt
They're keeping their heads up when they're going through hell
He's still in that front pew on Sunday
And she's still singing Amazing Grace (How sweet the sound)
And they still put themselves after everyone else
Every time with a smile on their face (Smile on their face)
You wouldn't know it looking at 'em
Lord knows life ain't equal
Yeah, sometimes bad things happen
To the best damn people (Best damn people)
The best damn people (Best damn people)
The best damn people (Best damn people)
