Thanks For The G Chord

(album: Brand New Me - 2000)

It sure is nice
Sitting on this porch
Picking these old time songs
No matter how far
I get from here
This place still feels like home
Remember all those summer nights
We'd talk about life and such
Well Dad, I've come to realize
I haven't said enough

[CHORUS:]
Thanks for the G chord
Teaching me about the good Lord
Giving me that old Ford
When I turned sixteen
Thanks for hanging in there
When I was going nowhere
Thanks for never
Changing that lock on the front door
Thanks for the G chord

That flat top Martin
You gave me back then
You know I've still got it now
I keep it locked up
In that same ol' case
You used to tote around
Sometimes when the crowd is quiet
I'll bring it out again
And play the first song you taught me
Back when I was ten

[CHORUS]

Thanks for hanging in there
When I was going nowhere
Thanks for never
Changing that lock on the front door
Thanks for the G chord
