I Count My Blessings

There's plenty of weeks that we can't afford steak

But we've always got something good on our plate

And I count my blessings

This ain't no mansion, it's a house and a yard

It keeps out the rain if it don't rain real hard

And I count my blessings

I count on my fingers the real friends I have

I count on the good times outweighing the bad

And I count on my faith that someday I'll figure out

Why there are so many who don't have a blessing to count

The weekend comes 'round and we kinda get bored

But pizza and movies are what we can afford

And I count my blessings

I've got a job, but it won't make me rich

My friends who are laid off would love to have it

And I count my blessings

I count on my woman for love every day

And I count on my kids for a smile on my face

And I count on my faith that someday I'll figure out

Why there's those who have plenty and those who have some

But there's just too many of those who have none

And I count on my faith that someday I'll figure out

Why there are so many who don't have a blessing to count

Why there are so many who don't have a blessing to count
