The other
day I caught
myself complaining
How my boss has got me
working overtime
Then the stranger who was
sittin' there beside me
Said, I spent all day in the
unemployment
Are there open shifts, are they hiring all?
I work in E .I.'s even all night long
If you could put a good word in for me
Every time you think you've got it bad
You can find someone
who's got it worse
All the things you take for granted now
They started out as blessings first
If you've got someone who loves you
And a steady job that puts food on the table
If you're strong and able
Men be grateful
We complain about how much
it's gonna cost us
To fill our twenty -something
thousand dollar cars
Livin' in the land of milk and honey
It's so easy to forget how lucky we are
We can work hard and buy a patch of dirt
And on Sunday morning go to church
And pray for those who don't
have it as good as you
Every time you think you've got it bad,
you can find someone who's got it worse.
All the things you take for granted now,
they started out as blessings first.
If you've got someone who loves you,
and a steady job that put
s food on the table,
If you're strong and able,
then be grateful
Oh, every time you think
you've got it bad
You can find someone who's got it worse
All the things you take for granted
They started out as blessings first
If you've got someone
who loves you
And a steady job that puts food on the table
If you're strong and able
Man, be grateful
Yeah, I'm grateful
Oh, let's be grateful
