Thankful for what I got

I'm thankful for what I've got
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead
I'm thankful for what I've got
She's got herself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better

I ain't got enough time
To spend alone and feelin' sad
I ain't got nobody to aim for
But that's somethin' that don't really matter

I'm thankful for what I've got
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead
I'm thankful for what I've got
I've got myself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better

There just ain't enough hours in one day
To sit and watch all my dreams come true
Every day is a sunshine day
I've got because I'm happy, not because I worry
and that is something I can surely be proud of
Now I've found how I've grown
All I really want in life for me
and it's not a dream, a dream come true
I've got the one I want and I've got the one I need
and I couldn't be more happy now, I really really mean it

(She's got herself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better)

I'm thankful for what I've got
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead
I'm thankful for what I've got
I've got myself a real life better

She's got herself a real life better
I've got myself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better
Oh yeah...
