TVA |
| I grew up two hours north of Birmingham |
| Me and my daddy used to fish next to Wilson Dam |
| He told some stories Camaros and J.W. |
| Dant |
| When I got a little older I wouldn’t and now daddy can’t |
| So I thank God for the TVA |
| Thank god for the TVA |
| When me and my daddy used to bow to the river and pray |
| Thank god for the TVA |
| When I was fifteen, me and my girl sat out on the lock |
| Watching the raccoons and terrapins dance on the rocks |
| She let me put my hand up under her shirt |
| I wanted her to want me so bad it hurt |
| So I thank God for the TVA |
| Thank god for the TVA |
| When me and my baby used to lay 'round and wait on the day |
| Thank god for the TVA |
| My granddaddy told me when he was just seven or so |
| His daddy lost work and they didn’t have a row to hoe |
| Not too much to eat for seven boys and three girls |
| All lived in a tent |
| Bunch of sharecroppers versus the world |
| So his mama sat down, wrote a letter to FDR |
| 'En a couple days later, couple of county men came in a car |
| Rode out in the field, told his daddy to put down the plow |
| He helped build the dam, gave power to most of the South |
| So I thank god for the TVA |
| Thank god for the TVA |
| When Roosevelt let us all work for an honest day’s pay |
| Thank god for the TVA |
