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
