Ben Rector - Joy Lyrics

(Come on, ya'll)
Feeling good, feeling right (hey, hey)
Every day, every night (hey, come n)
I got joy in my life
In my life (oh, yes, I do, yeah)

I used to wake up feelin' real stressed
Now I wake up feelin' real blessed
I'm in the sunshine and livin' my best
Life
There for a minute, I was feeling real rough
Until I saw that what I had was enough
I didn't know that I could love it this much
But I'm (come on, ya'll)

Feeling good, feeling right (hey, hey)
Every day, every night (hey, come on)
'Cause I got joy in my life
In my life, yeah (oh, yes, I do, yeah)
Say farewell (say farewell), say goodbye (say goodbye)
To my worries (to my worries) and strife (and strife)
'Cause I got joy (I got joy) in my life (in my life)
In my life (in my life)

Sing it with me now
Joy, yeah
Baby, baby, I got joy
Oh, yeah

When the rain falls, when the sun shines
When the winds change in the hard times
I will stand firm, I'll be alright
'Cause I got joy in my life (joy)
When the rain falls, when the sun shines
When the winds change in the hard times (I got joy)
I will stand firm, I'll be alright
'Cause I got joy in my life

Feeling good, feeling right (oh)
Every day, every night (hey, come on)
'Cause I got joy in my life
In my life
Yeah (come on, ya'll)
Say farewell (say farewell), say goodbye (say goodbye)
To my worries (to my worries) and strife (and strife)
'Cause I got joy (I got joy) in my life (in my life)
In my life (in my life)

Sing it with me now
Joy, yeah
Baby, baby, I got joy
Oh, yeah
Joy
I got joy
Joy

And that, my friends, is The Joy of Music
Thanks so much for listening
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it
Which was a lot
There's a list of people I'd like to thank coming up
If you can stick around for that, stick around
If you've got somewhere to be, no sweat
Just know that I really appreciate you tuning in
And making this album a small part of your life

I'd like to thank John Fields for being my partner in crime
For his patience as I changed things a decibel at a time again and again
Only to go back to what we had originally
Thanks John, you're the best

To my wife Hillary, for your support
As I came out here almost every day for a year and a half
To chase down this record
So glad I get to do life with you
And you're the best

To my daughter Jane
For making me excited to wake up every morning
To see what you're gonna say and do
To my twins, Roy and Robert
For being just an absolute handful
But for being pretty sweet most of the time

I wanna thank Snoop Dogg
There's a sentence I never thought I'd say
For rapping on "Sunday"
And for being cool about it when I edited out your reference to National Blunt Day
Thanks to Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes
For making my hipster musician friends think I'm just a little bit cooler than I am
To Kenny G for cred with my dad
And to Dave Koz for ripping what is potentially the best saxophone solo
I've ever heard in my life on "Supernatural"

Thanks to all the other writers, players, just collaborators in general
Who lended your talents to the record
It is better because of it
And I am grateful to work with you

Well, guys
We did it
Until I see you next time
This is Ben Rector signing off
Telling you to please
Be joyful
