Thank You

When I was young I wanted to play the electric guitar
My mamma said no it's far from God
I asked my daddy and he said okay
He asked me, baby what do want to play
I told him

I like the rock songs on the tv
They sound good they speak to me
And I know God wants me to play, so mamma

I'm grateful for all the things you do
I think its time that you knew
I can't live this life without you
And I'm gonna play the guitar
I'm gonna go far from home
Thank you

I met this guy one day
We got married and everything was ok
Then the markets crashed and we had no cash, no money
Someone did something awfully funny with them homes,
But we needed a car

I told him don't you worry
I'm gonna sell my electric guitar
And I know everything is going to be okay, baby

I'm grateful for all the things you do
I think its time that you knew
I can't live this life without you
And I'm gonna learn the fiddle
Life is one big riddle
Thank you

Now the guitar is gone,
And so's my man, he died
Cancer can be so cruel,
My hands are empty, and I ask God
What did I do sir?

God said, you have all you need
Don't you worry
I got you, and God said

I'm grateful for all the things you do
I think its time that you knew
This world is nothing without you
You help me do some things, it's true
As long as you raise that boy, sweet boy
Thank you

Thank you, God

I'm grateful for all the things you do
I think its time that you knew
I can't live this life without you
And I'm gonna play the guitar again
I'm still gonna go far, I'll come home someday...
Thank you
