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

And a [G]full tank of gas, a good [D]map
And a [C]good woman tellin’ me to [G]hurry back
