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,

(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,
