Got It Good
Gratitude Unveiled: Embracing Life's Blessings
Lyrics
Ain't it something? You can jump on a plane
Expressing amazement at the ability to travel easily.
And hop on a bus, catch you a train
Highlighting various modes of transportation available.
Take in a Saturday game at Wrigley Field
Mentioning the enjoyment of a baseball game at Wrigley Field.
Man, ain't it awesome? You can hit Talladega
Expressing enthusiasm about the freedom to attend events like Talladega.
Drink you a beer with the fan of the driver
Enjoying a beer with fans, even those who may not be liked personally.
You've always hated and probably always will
Acknowledging personal biases and dislikes.
Yeah, I forget how good I got it sometimes
Reflecting on occasional forgetfulness about one's fortunate circumstances.
How lucky I am just to be alive
Acknowledging and appreciating the luck and privilege of being alive.
Oh, I pass through a prayer to the man upstairs
Sending a prayer to express gratitude to a higher power.
Just to thank Him like I should
Thanking a higher power for the blessings in life.
Let Him know I get it, I got it good
Acknowledging understanding and appreciation for one's good fortune.
Oh, it's amazing that boy in the yard
Expressing amazement at the speaker's child in the yard.
Is half of my wife and God bless his heart
Blessing the child's heart and appreciating their presence.
The other half is every last bit of me
Expressing a deep connection to the child as part of the speaker.
I can't explain it how his mama wound up with somebody like me
Expressing surprise at how the child's mother ended up with the speaker.
When she could've done so much better
Acknowledging personal shortcomings and feeling undeserving.
Make you fall down on your knees
Highlighting the power of love to humble and inspire.
Yeah, I forget how good I got it sometimes
Reiterating the tendency to forget one's fortunate circumstances.
How lucky I am just to be alive
Recognizing and appreciating the luck of being alive.
Oh, I pass through a prayer to the man upstairs
Sending another prayer to express ongoing gratitude.
Just to thank Him like I should
Thanking the higher power as a regular practice.
Let Him know I get it, I got it good
Reiterating the speaker's understanding and appreciation of their good fortune.
I get going so fast that what matters gets blurred
Reflecting on the fast-paced nature of life, causing loss of focus on what truly matters.
And I can't feel the grass, see the trees, hear the birds
Describing a state of sensory deprivation and detachment from nature.
The sky starts to rain and I cuss and complain like a fool
Expressing frustration and regret for not appreciating life's beauty.
Yeah, I forget how good I got it sometimes
Reiterating the tendency to forget one's fortunate circumstances.
How lucky I am just to be alive
Recognizing and appreciating the luck of being alive.
Oh, I pass through a prayer to the man upstairs
Sending another prayer to express ongoing gratitude.
Just to thank Him like I should
Thanking the higher power as a regular practice.
Let Him know I get it, I got it good
Reiterating the speaker's understanding and appreciation of their good fortune.
