My Daddy Was Blue Collar
He Worked For the Man All of His Life
He Showed Up When He Didn't Want to Be There
A Man of His Word, Believed in Doing Things Right
I Remember When I Was a Kid
He'd Say Time and Time Again
It's a Good Life; It's a Real Good Life
And I'm a Thankful Man

I'm a Thankful Man For Every Turn
On Every Highway I've Been Down
Every Mile I've Lost, Every Crossroad Stop
Every Storm That Turned Me Around
Oh, It's Better Than I Could Have Planned
It's Made Me Who I Am
It's a Good Life; It's a Real Good Life
And I'm a Thankful Man

My Mama Was a Dreamer
But She Was the Rock That We All Leaned On
She Taught Me About the Lessons in Life
The Difference Between What's Right and Wrong
And Every Word Was a Gift From Her
That Helped Me Understand
It's a Good Life; It's a Real Good Life
And I'm a Thankful Man

I'm a Thankful Man For Every Turn
On Every Highway I've Been Down
Every Mile I've Lost, Every Crossroad Stop
Every Storm That Turned Me Around
Oh, It's Better Than I Could Have Planned
It's Made Me Who I Am
It's a Good Life; It's a Real Good Life
And I'm a Thankful Man

It's Better Than I Could Have Planned
It's Made Me Who I Am
It's a Good Life; It's a Real Good Life
And I'm a Thankful Man
T's a Good Life; It's a Real Good Life
And I'm a Thankful Man
