[INTRO – SPOKEN] [BUBBA] Well… I reckon there was a time I would’ve traded anything for a different yesterday. [DARLENE] And now? [BUBBA] Now I’m just thankful God gave me this morning. [HARMONICA – gentle, warm opening] [VERSE 1 – BUBBA] Thank You for this morning, Thank You for the light, Thank You for the birds That woke me up just right. Thank You for the heartbeat I can feel inside my chest, Thank You for another day To give this life my best. [VERSE 2 – DARLENE] Thank You for the sunrise Coming through the trees, Thank You for the little things That bring a man to his knees. Thank You for the people Who still call my name, Thank You for the mercy That carried me through shame. [CHORUS – BOTH] Thank You for this morning, Thank You for today. Yesterday is over, And tomorrow’s far away. I’ve got breath inside me, I’ve got love I can give, So thank You, Lord Almighty, For another day to live. [YODEL – BUBBA] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-oh… [DARLENE] Thank You for today. [YODEL – BOTH] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-ay… [VERSE 3 – BUBBA] Thank You for the hard roads, Though I didn’t like the ride, Thank You for the lessons I learned the painful way inside. Thank You for the valleys That taught me how to pray, Thank You for Your mercy That met me on the way. [VERSE 4 – DARLENE] Thank You for forgiveness, Thank You for new starts, Thank You for the people Who helped rebuild our hearts. Thank You for the laughter, Thank You for the tears, Thank You for the strength You’ve given through the years. [CHORUS – BOTH] Thank You for this morning, Thank You for today. Yesterday is over, And tomorrow’s far away. I’ve got breath inside me, I’ve got love I can give, So thank You, Lord Almighty, For another day to live. [HARMONICA SOLO – BUBBA] [WARM OLD-TIME BLUES/GOSPEL HARMONICA SOLO] [BRIDGE – GOSPEL CALL & RESPONSE] [BUBBA] Thank You for my family— [DARLENE] Thank You, Lord. [BUBBA] Thank You for forgiveness— [DARLENE] Thank You, Lord. [BUBBA] Thank You for another chance— [DARLENE] Thank You, Lord. [BUBBA] Thank You for this breath— [DARLENE] Thank You, Lord. [BOTH] For every sunrise, For every mile, For every reason To still smile. [VERSE 5 – BUBBA] I don’t need a mansion, I don’t need a crown, I don’t need to know What tomorrow brings around. Give me a little porch light, A harmonica and song, A woman standing beside me When the road gets long. Give me work worth doing, Give me people worth loving, Give me faith when the answer Ain’t yet coming. [VERSE 6 – DARLENE] And if tomorrow brings us Another mountain to climb, We’ll take it like we always do, One step at a time. If the rain comes falling, We’ll let the old roof sing, And thank God for the shelter And every little thing. [CHORUS – FULL] Thank You for this morning, Thank You for today. Yesterday is over, And tomorrow’s far away. I’ve got breath inside me, I’ve got love I can give, So thank You, Lord Almighty, For another day to live. Thank You for the sunrise, Thank You for the rain, Thank You for the laughter, Thank You for the pain. Everything I’ve walked through Brought me to this place, And I wouldn’t trade this morning For another yesterday. [YODEL – BOTH] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-oh… [BUBBA] Thank You, Lord! [DARLENE] Thank You, Lord! [BOTH] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-ay… [FINAL BRIDGE] [BUBBA] If I get one more morning, I’ll give You one more song. [DARLENE] If You give us one more mile, We’ll keep walking on. [BUBBA] If You give us one more chance— [DARLENE] We’ll use it wisely. [BOTH] If You give us one more day, We’ll thank You gladly. [FINAL CHORUS – FULL GOSPEL] Thank You for this morning, Thank You for today. Thank You for Your mercy That never turned away. I’ve got breath inside me, I’ve got love I can give, So thank You, Lord Almighty, For another day to live. Thank You for this morning, Thank You for this life. Thank You for the woman Who’s been standing by my side. Thank You for redemption, Thank You for Your grace. Thank You for another morning And another chance to live. [FINAL YODEL – BOTH] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-oh… Thank You for the morning! Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-ay… Thank You for today! [OUTRO – SPOKEN] [BUBBA] Darlene? [DARLENE] Yes? [BUBBA] You know what? [DARLENE] What? [BUBBA] I think this morning’s gonna be a good one. [DARLENE] I think so too. [BUBBA] Well then… let’s not waste it.
