Lyric Thankful Man
(Stephen Allen Davis)
My daddy was blue collar
He worked for the man all of his life
He showed up when he didn t want to be there
A man of his word, believed in doing things right
I remember when i was a kid
He d say time and time again
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
I m a thankful man for every turn
On every highway I ve been down
Every mile I ve lost, every crossroad stop
Every storm that turned me around
Oh, it s better than I could have planned
It s made me who I am
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
My mama was a dreamer
But she was the rock that we all leaned on
She taught me about the lessons in life
The difference between what s right and wrong
And every word was a gift from her
That helped me understand
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
I m a thankful man for every turn
On every highway I ve been down
Every mile I ve lost, every crossroad stop
Every storm that turned me around
Oh, it s better than I could have planned
It s made me who I am
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
It s better than I could have planned
It s made me who I am
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
t s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
My daddy was blue collar
He worked for the man all of his life
He showed up when he didn t want to be there
A man of his word, believed in doing things right
I remember when i was a kid
He d say time and time again
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
I m a thankful man for every turn
On every highway I ve been down
Every mile I ve lost, every crossroad stop
Every storm that turned me around
Oh, it s better than I could have planned
It s made me who I am
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
My mama was a dreamer
But she was the rock that we all leaned on
She taught me about the lessons in life
The difference between what s right and wrong
And every word was a gift from her
That helped me understand
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
I m a thankful man for every turn
On every highway I ve been down
Every mile I ve lost, every crossroad stop
Every storm that turned me around
Oh, it s better than I could have planned
It s made me who I am
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
It s better than I could have planned
It s made me who I am
It s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
t s a good life; it s a real good life
And I m a thankful man
