Thankful Man - 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 doin' 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 wasn’t a dreamer

But she was the rock that we all leaned on

She taught me 'bout 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

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
