Testo Thanksgiving is Tom T. Hall

Thanksgiving is

You gotta be thankful for the Bible Jesus oand your mom and dad

For your bike and for your clothes and for your butter and for your bread

For your shoes and socks and underthings and all the clothes you wear

And be thankful for your nose and your hair that's what thankgiving is

You gotta be thankful for your eyes and ears and fingers and your hands

For your legs and for your arms and for the folks who understand

Fot your music and your books and for your teachers and your school

And be thankful that you're warm and that you're cool that's what thankgiving is

You gotta be thankful for your food and for the turkey and the ham

Gotta be thankful for the milk and cookies jelly and the jam

For the road and for the car and for the bus and for the drive

And you really gotta be thankful you're alive that's what thankgiving is

You gotta be thankful for the sun and moon and wind and rain and air

For the bed and for the bath and for the table and the chairs

For the friends and for the toys and TV and the radio

And be thankful that your record player goes that's what thankgiving is

You gotta be thankful for your dog and for your cat and for your horse

You gotta be thankful for the fish and for the pretty birds of course

You gotta be thankful for the flowers and the forest and the lawn

Well you understand we could go on and on
