Intro - (verse 1) My daddy was blue collar, He worked for the man all of his life, He showed up when he didn't want to be there, A man of his word, believed in doing things right, (bridge) I remember when I was a kid, He'd say time and time again, It's a good life, it's a real good life, And I'm a thankful man, (chorus) I'm a thankful man for every turn, On every highway I've been down, Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop, Every storm that turned me around, Oh, it's better than I could have planned, It's made me who I am, It's a good life, it's a real good life, And I'm a thankful man, (verse 2) My mama was a dreamer, But she was the rock that we all leaned on, She taught me about the lessons in life, The difference between what's right and wrong, (bridge) And every word was a gift from her, That helped me understand, It's a good life, it's a real good life, And I'm a thankful man, (chorus) I'm a thankful man for every turn, On every highway I've been down, Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop, Every storm that turned me around, Oh, it's better than I could have planned, It's made me who I am, It's a good life, it's a real good life, And I'm a thankful man, (lead chords - ) (ending) It's better than I could have planned, It's made me who I am, It's a good life, it's a real good life, And I'm a thankful man, It's a good life, it's a real good life, And I'm a thankful man,
