| You may be in a big city or driving down a country lane,
|
| Working two jobs to make a living
|
| And all you do is complain.
|
| You should be thankful
|
| Of what you’ve got.
|
| Yes, you should be thankful
|
| Of all you’ve got.
|
| Wakin up in the morning seeing the sunrise
|
| Is enough to say I thank you Lord.
|
| Rolling over, seeing my baby’s eyes
|
| Is enough to say I thank you Lord.
|
| I just wanna say thank you (thank you)
|
| thank you (thank you) thank you, thank you
|
| Lord.
|
| thank you (thank you) thank you, thank you
|
| Lord.
|
| You should be thankful of what you got.
|
| You know you should be thankful of all you got.
|
| You may live in the valley,
|
| You may live on the highest hill,
|
| Some people say you don’t do nothin' but take the doctor’s pills.
|
| You may be in a nurs’ry, in a classroom,
|
| Driving you big fine car,
|
| Airplane’ll take you-uh far.
|
| Laying out in the sun
|
| Or just working on the run,
|
| Ooh, You should be thankful of what you got.
|
| you should be thankful of all you’ve got.
|
| Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you (fade) |
