Blessed

歌詞

Grandaddy bought this slice back in 1962 It came with a barn, a dog in the yard, and a Chevrolet painted blue Well, that Chevy still starts, but that old John Deere's just sitting there in the shed And every time that old whippoorwill sings, I can still hear what he said And he said Take time to say your prayers Even if it feels like no one's there Round that field, plant that grain One good rain could change everything And there's a good chance that where you stand Is your own little piece of the promised land If the star's still spangled and the dirt's still red And there's a roof still over your head You're blessed Now I'm all grown, I got a kid of my own And he wants to learn how to fish We're standing at the pond, digging up a rod, thinking "God, would You look at this?" He looked up at me, said "Daddy, could it be that us and Mama got it made?" I said, "Yes we do, and we always will If we just remember this one thing" And then I said Take time to say your prayers Even if it feels like no one's there Round that field, plant that grain One good rain could change everything And there's a good chance that where you stand Is your own little piece of the promised land If the star's still spangled and the dirt's still red And there's a roof still over your head You're blessed Amen Amen Well, I hope when he grows up He passes down that word like Grandad did for me I don't care if he's out in California Or he's up north, or stays put here in Tennessee This land I'm standing on now is gonna be his one day Without the shadow of a doubt He'll probably be fishing this pond with his old boy And think about this right now And he'll say Take time to say your prayers Even if it feels like no one's there Round that field, plant that grain One good rain could change everything And there's a good chance that where you stand Is your own little piece of the promised land If the star's still spangled and the dirt's still red And there's a roof still over your head You're blessed
