Verse 1
G
You know I like my chicken fried
C G
A cold beer on a Friday night
D C
A pair of jeans that fit just right
G D
And the radio up
G
Well I saw the light
C G
In the sunset on a Friday night
D C
A parking lot, it was getting dark
G D
And I was thinking ’bout you
Chorus
So I [G]said a little prayer
And I [C]hoped that you could see
That every [G]day is a gift and not a [D]given right
[C]Leave it all on the field, [G]fightin’ the good fight
And when you [D]get where you’re goin’
[C]Don’t forget what it [G]took
To get you there
And the [D]people who helped you along the [C]way
Yeah, thank the [G]Lord for all I’ve been blessed with in my [D]life
[/verse]
Verse 2
G
A pair of jeans that fit just right
C G
And the radio up
D C
Well I was raised up beneath the shade
G D
Of a Georgia pine
G
And that’s home, you know
C G
And sweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine
D
Where the peaches grow
C
And my house it’s not much to talk about
G D
But it’s filled with love that’s grown in Southern ground
Chorus
So I [G]said a little prayer
And I [C]hoped that you could see
That every [G]day is a gift and not a [D]given right
[C]Leave it all on the field, [G]fightin’ the good fight
And when you [D]get where you’re goin’
[C]Don’t forget what it [G]took
To get you there
And the [D]people who helped you along the [C]way
Yeah, thank the [G]Lord for all I’ve been blessed with in my [D]life
[/verse]
Bridge
And a [C]soldier comin’ home from [G]overseas
And a [D]voice of a loved one on the other end of the [C]telephone
And a [G]full tank of gas, a good [D]map
And a [C]good woman tellin’ me to [G]hurry back
[/verse]
Chorus
So I [G]said a little prayer
And I [C]hoped that you could see
