I'm so Thankful

I've been let down I've been turned around I've been misused And so confused I was a man And I held my ground And now for once y'all Didn't get me down I'm so thankful That I humbled in there It must've been the will of God I do declare I'm so thankful That I humbled in there It must've been the will of God I do declare I'm so thankful That I humbled in there It must've been the will of God I do declare I'm so thankful That I humbled in there It must've been the will of God I do declare I was being used For a stepping stone That I could see So I came on home Some people thought I was insane But something told me 'Gene, you can do your own thing' I'm safe and strong And I held my ground And now can't nothin' Keep me down 'Cause I got me a lady That I know is true I'm doing the thing That I wanna do Like writing music Like all the time And that's excused me My peace of mind My peace of mind Is so divine But it's so hard My heart to find Now that's my story And now I'm through Just one more thing I wanna do for you Goodnight there, Bob Alright, you can stop the tape now fellas
