What It Is

(album: Life's Too Short - 2023)

Turned off my phone today, stuck it in the drawer
It's too loud inside this empty house so I walked out the door
Surrounded by what God had made, I couldn't help but stare
I need a little face to face time with the man upstairs
Looking at my life, it's time to make a change
So, I'm gonna spend my day slowing down the pace

I got breath to breathe, a heart that beats
And a life that's full of simple things
And a little piece of Heaven right here in front of me
I got a truck that runs, a dog that hunts
With a good old fashion woman's love
Might not be much but it's all I'll ever need
And you don't have to understand this life I lead
Just trying to live, it is what it is
And what it is, is good enough for me

Seems like when I hit my knees, I just ask for more
Always praying for the next best thing, 'stead of what I'm thankful for
Kneeling by my bed last night the good Lord spoke to me
He said son what do you lack
Look around, tell me what you see, and now I see

I got breath to breathe, a heart that beats
And a life that's full of simple things
And a little piece of Heaven right here in front of me
I got a truck that runs, a dog that hunts
With a good old fashion woman's love
Might not be much but it's all I'll ever need
And you don't have to understand this life I lead
Just trying to live, it is what it is
And what it is, is good enough for me

You don't have to understand this life I lead
Just trying to live, it is what it is
And what it is, is good enough for me
