same chord pattern throughout)

And any man who knows a thing knows

He knows not a damn, damn thing at all

And every time I felt the hurt

And I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze

Nothing is perfect man, that's what the world is

All I know is I'm enjoying today

You know 'cause it isn't every day that you get to give

And any man who knows a thing knows

He knows not a damn, damn thing at all

And every time I felt the hurt

And I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze

I got nothin' to complain about

You know where I'm from

You know where I'ma last, so

You know I was flyin' high

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
