Blessed
Counting Blessings: Life's Journey in Coffey Anderson's 'Blessed'
Lyrics
This old truck has seen better days
This old truck has experienced better times.
Got a little rust on that tailgate
There's a bit of rust on the tailgate of the truck.
It Still gets me down the interstate
The truck still reliably takes the singer down the interstate.
One mile at a time
The journey is taken one mile at a time.
Got a couple bills that are overdue
There are a few bills that haven't been paid on time.
Still got some dreams that ain't come true
There are still some dreams that haven't been fulfilled.
But I got a girl I can hold on to
Despite challenges, the singer has a girl to lean on.
With her by my side
The girl is a source of support, being by the singer's side.
I'm B-L-E-double-S-E-D
The singer feels blessed.
Alive and well in the land of the free
The singer acknowledges being alive and well in a free country.
I ain't rich but I got everything I need
Despite not being wealthy, the singer has everything necessary.
So I work hard play hard pray hard too
The singer works hard, plays hard, and prays hard, emphasizing effort.
Cause You get what ya give
Belief in the principle that you receive in proportion to what you give.
And I always give my best
The singer always puts forth their best effort.
Then I let the good Lord handle the rest
Trusts in a higher power to handle the outcomes beyond personal control.
Man I'm blessed
Summarizes the singer's feeling of being blessed despite challenges.
Saw an angel on the side of the road
The singer encountered someone in need, metaphorically described as an angel.
With a cardboard sign in a camo coat
The person in need is wearing a camo coat, possibly a veteran.
Spare some change, buy a man some hope?
The angel asks for help and hope, symbolized by spare change.
So, I emptied out my console
The singer responds by giving what they can from their console.
Cause you, can't take it with you when you go
Reflects the belief that material possessions are not taken when one passes away.
I'm beyond lucky every single second every day
The singer considers themselves extremely fortunate every moment of every day.
From the Monday grind to the Sunday drive
Expresses gratitude for the entire week, from the hard work on Monday to leisure on Sunday.
No matter what comes my way
The singer remains positive and grateful, regardless of life's challenges.
