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
