Lyrics:
How You Look At It
Vs 1
My friend pulled up in his new ride. It was primered grey; wrecked down the side
The hubcaps were gone, front bumper just hangin’ on
That car looked rough, I said he’d never fix ‘er up
We made a ten-dollar bet, and we shook hands as he said…
Chorus
It’s all in how you look at it, and what you set your mind to do
Gotta’ see the glass half-full; it all depends on your point of view
When you don’t think you have a lot, thank the good Lord for what you’ve got
Don’t mind what people say. Don’t ever quit
‘Cause it’s all in how you look at it
Vs 2
His hard work made it look brand new. That hunk a’ rust, was a dream come true
Should a’ seen his face at the show, when it won first place
My money was lost ‘cause he could see what I could not
I paid off our bet, then he smiled at me as he said…
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Two-car crash on the Interstate was the scene on the evening news
Grabbed my keys and headed out; found my way to his room.
Odds were he’d not walk again. It was a wonder he’d survived
Then he took my hand. We said a prayer. And he reminded me, one more time
Repeat Chorus
