You may be in a big city or driving down a country lane, Working two jobs to make a living And all you do is complain. You should be thankful Of what you've got. Yes, you should be thankful Of all you've got. Wakin up in the morning seeing the sunrise Is enough to say I thank you Lord. Rolling over, seeing my baby's eyes Is enough to say I thank you Lord. I just wanna say thank you (thank you) thank you (thank you) thank you, thank you Lord. thank you (thank you) thank you, thank you Lord. You should be thankful of what you got. You know you should be thankful of all you got. You may live in the valley, You may live on the highest hill, Some people say you don't do nothin' but take the doctor's pills. You may be in a nurs'ry, in a classroom, Driving you big fine car, Airplane'll take you-uh far. Laying out in the sun Or just working on the run, Ooh, You should be thankful of what you got. you should be thankful of all you've got. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you (fade)
