Thank You World Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

I wanna thank you world for lettin' me belong 

I'm just one fourth of one small group that sings your songs 

I know that there are others who have served in bigger ways 

All I can do is sing your music all my days 

It makes me grateful just to know, to know that I can be 

Unique and fill a spot beside the other three 

Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost 

Thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause 

I may not ever stand like Stonewall Jackson stood 

But standing on that stage to me is just as good 

And I may never be a heavy or a great 

But you've given me the strength, the strength to pull my weight 

Oh, for the part I sing is truly part of me 

And it does its part to lock the other parts in key 

And it does its part to pull, pull that sweet applause 

And I thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause 

Oh, world you've given me a place that I call mine 

Though I've stepped out of it and I've gotten out of line 

Sometimes I sing your music slightly out of key 

And I know I make it harder for the other three 

Oh, and I've always done my part, the very best I could 

And it's done with other guys, oh, world you could 

You've let me sing your praises world and harp about your faults 

I thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause 

It makes me grateful just to know, to know that I can be 

Unique and fill a spot beside the other three 

Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost 

Thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause 

Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost 

Thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause 

Thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause
