Thankful Man Lyrics - Chrome - Trace Adkins

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 

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 

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 

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 

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 

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
