Every storm that turned me around

Oh, it's better than I could have planned
It's better than I could have planned
The difference between what's right and wrong
It's a good life, it's a real good life

I'm a thankful man for every turn

It's a good life, it's a real good life
It's made me who I am
On every highway I've been down
My mama was a dreamer
It's a good life, it's a real good life
It's a good life, it's a real good life
She taught me 'bout the lessons in life
And I'm a thankful man
Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop
Oh, it's better than I could have planned
Every storm that turned me around
And I'm a thankful man

He showed up when he didn't want to be there
And I'm a thankful man
It's made me who I am
He'd say time and time again
A man of his word, believed in doing things right
I'm a thankful man for every turn
And I'm a thankful man

But she was the rock that we all leaned on
Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop
On every highway I've been down
I remember when I was a kid
And I'm a thankful man

And I'm a thankful man
It's a good life, it's a real good life
And every word was a gift from her
It's a good life, it's a real good life

That helped me understand

It's made me who I am
