Thank God For You

(album: Outskirts Of Town - 1993)

Well, I've been called a self-made man
Girl, don't you believe it's true
I know exactly how lucky I am
When I'm getting this close to you
It's high time I'm giving some praise
To those that got me where I am today

I got to thank mama for the cooking
Daddy for the whupping
The Devil for the trouble that I get into
I got to give credit when credit is due
I thank the bank for the money
Thank God for you

A strong heart and a willing hand
That's the secret to my success
A good woman, I try to be a good man
A good job, Lord, I know I've been blessed
I'm just a part of a greater plan
It doesn't matter which part I am

I got to thank mama for the teaching
Daddy for the preaching
The Devil for the trouble that I get into
I got to give credit when credit is due
I thank the bank for the money
And God for you
