Maria

Thank you for the ride there mister

Right here, where I get off

Been a little while since I seen her

But I don't think love is lost

Thank you for the whiskey mister

Ain't had none in so long

Thank you for the ride

Thank you for the whiskey

Thank you for the song

Maria, you hear me coming up the road

Maria, a new man's on his way home

I need a chance to fix the things I've torn apart

Where I left off's the only place to start

So take those doubt and chains off your lonely heart

For this thankful man coming in out of the dark

I believe I'm a stronger man

For the suffering and hard times

They put those steel bars around me

But they never got her off my mind

I fought my way through the walls of hell

Just to see her again

Lord, thank you for the moonlight

Thank you for the stars

Thank you for the wind

Maria, you hear me coming up the road

Maria, a new man's on his way home

I need a chance to fix the things I've torn apart

Where I left off's the only place to start

So take those doubt and chains off your lonely heart

For this thankful man coming in out of the dark

Well, I never got lost

The day I left your side

And I've paid the cost

I've been on a long dark ride

But, oh, Maria your fire is leading me home tonight

Thank you for the love

Thank you for the laughter

Thank you for the light

Maria, you hear me coming up the road

Maria, a new man's on his way home

I need a chance to fix the things I've torn apart

Where I left off's the only place to start

So take those doubt and chains off your lonely heart

For this thankful man coming in out of the dark

Yeah, I'm a thankful man coming in out of the dark
