about

This song was written from the perspective of a man living in a cardboard shack who is grateful for what he does have, not envious of those who have more. And constantly in his mind is this fact: there are so many people in the world who are far worse off. He finds reasons to give thanks every day...

lyrics

Lyrics:

I won't be coming home this year; I got too many bills to pay.
So I'll be eating all alone on Thanksgiving Day.
Well this year has been so rough in each and every way.
But I still got the time and love to write to you and say....

CHORUS:
Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you're giving thanks.
Because there's folks worse off than you.
Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you're giving thanks.
Because that is the righteous thing to do...!

Now I'm hoping for turkey this year,
Cuz they keep running through my yard.
But I can't seem to catch one maybe I'm trying too hard?
At least I know I'll have cranberries cuz I got their old cd.
And I'll just dream about pumpkin pie to warm my cold belly.

CHORUS

Now if you're like me you're thankful for the roof above your head.
You're thankful for the good air that you breathe.
Now I don't mind what others say, but as for me I'm gonna strive to make every day a Thanksgving day........!

CHORUS x2

Now I'm wishing a Happy Thanksgiving Day, to you!
