Lyrics

[Verse 1] I gotta thank a small-town preacher Makin me a hymn singer On the Sunday's Mama made me go I gotta thank a high school teacher for believin' in a dreamer And steering me down the road I gotta thank my granddaddy for the Saturday's on the lake Hookin' 'em and reelin' 'em in I gotta thank the boys I raised all kinds of hell with Couldn't ask for better best friends [Chorus 1] I gotta thank Earnhardt, Springsteen, Luke Skywalker For filling up my memory bank I gotta thank JD, Jim Beam, Mr. Anheuser For a Friday night good time drink I gotta thank Mama and my Daddy For eighteen years of them gasin' up the Chevrolet tank No matter who you are Evеrybody's got somebody to thank [Verse 2] I gotta thank an old coon dog For licking my hand on days I was feeling alone I gotta thank my old man's brother For a tour in thе jungle Just to keep us all safe at home I gotta thank a next-door neighbor For calling that number That morning our house caught fire I gotta thank a midwest farmer For a teenage summer With a boy he didn't have to hire [Chorus 2] I gotta thank Beau, Luke, Mellencamp Joe Montana for filling up my memory bank I gotta thank JD, Jim Beam, Mr. Anheuser For a Friday night good time drink I gotta thank Mama and my Daddy For eighteen years of them gasin' up the Chevrolet tank No matter who you are Everybody's got somebody to thank [Bridge] No, I ain't forgot and I'll never forget I gotta thank God for every day I've had And every day I'll get [Chorus 3] I gotta thank the love of my life Every day and night For filling up my memory bank I gotta thank JD, Jim Beam, Mr. Anheuser For a Friday night good time drink I gotta thank Mama and my Daddy For eighteen years of them gasin' up the Chevrolet tank No matter who you are Everybody's got somebody to thank
