| Thank you for the ride there mister
|
| Right here is where I get off
|
| It’s 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 your 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 doubting chains off of your lonely heart
|
| For this thankful man comin' in out of the dark
|
| I believe I’m a stronger man for the suffering and hard time
|
| They put those steel bars around me but they never got her off my mind
|
| Fought my way through the walls of hell just to see her again
|
| Lord thank you for the stars, thank you for the moonlight
|
| Thank you for the beer
|
| Maria hear me coming up the road
|
| Maria your 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 doubting chains off of your lonely heart
|
| For this thankful man comin' in out of the dark
|
| Well I never got lost till the day I left your side
|
| And I’ve paid the cost of bein on a long dark ride
|
| Ah Maria your fires 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 your 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 doubting chains off of your lonely heart
|
| For this thankful man comin' in out of the dark
|
| Yeah I’m a thankful man comin' in out of the dark |
