Bill Anderson - Thankful Lyrics

I'm thankful every morning that I wake up
Thankful for the coffee in my coffee cup
Thankful I'm in Nashville the town I love
Thankful that I've got a job to do
But most of all I'm thankful for you

I'm thankful for Once A Day and City Lights
For Whiskey Lullaby and Cold Hard Facts Of Life
Thankful for all the songs He's let me write
Thankful for the Grand Ole Opry too
But most of all I'm thankful for you

For without you, life wouldn't mean a doggoned thing
I'd just be a singer with no song to sing
A wounded bird grounded with a broken wing
I'm thankful that none of that is true
But most of all I'm thankful for you

I'm thankful for all those Silver Eagle rides
Touring coast to coast, thankful I survived
And all my mama's prayers that got me through the night
Thankful for the band and for the crew
Most of all I'm thankful for you

I'm thankful for the ones I got to know who've passed
Like Jim Ed, Tater, George the 4th and Johnny Cash
The ones who didn't throw my songs into the trash
For Jimmy Dean and ol' Roger Miller too
But most of all I'm thankful for you

For without you, life wouldn't mean a doggoned thing
I'd just be a singer with no song to sing
A wounded bird grounded with a broken wing
I'm thankful that none of that is true
But most of all I'm thankful for you

I'm thankful...for you
