Grateful

i've had my share of whiskey
i never claimed to be perfect
and i pray time don't hold that against me
who said i deserve the beauty that i see every morning
and every long dark night gives me reason to be thankful

i never said i was great, but i'm grateful (grateful)
i never said i was great, but i'm grateful (grateful)
oh, I know that i coulda been gone
can't say that i was never wrong
but that makes me grateful (grateful)

i've done some things that are risky
i never said i was a role model
had some nights i drank the whole bottle
in past lives
but last night it hit me how simply beautiful it is to breathe
all the beauty that's in you and me
And that made me thankful

i never said i was great, but i'm grateful (grateful)
i never said i was great, but i'm grateful (grateful)
oh, I know that i coulda been gone
can't say that i was never wrong
but that makes me grateful (grateful)

for every memory that came and went
for every failure, every accident
for every moment that i get to spend
for every day i get i'm glad to live (yeah)
'cause who knows how the story ends
but we know that it's gonna end
that gives me faith though

i never said i was great, but i'm grateful (grateful)
i never said i was great, but i'm grateful (grateful)
oh, I know that i coulda been gone
can't say that i was never wrong
but that makes me grateful (grateful)
