Lyrics
Verse 1
Clocked in before the sun had found the fence lineLunchbox rattlin' in the passenger seatCoffee from the thermos, sawdust on my blue jeansYour note was tucked beneath the driver's keyYou wrote, “Don't forget the milk, and call me when you can”I read it twice before the work bell rangAin't much in this world that I can count on by handBut I can count the ways you make me thankful, man
Pre‑Chorus
When the long day starts to climbI see your porch light in my mindAnd every mile of this old roadFeels like a blessing headed home
Chorus
I've got a good woman waitin' on meTwo little hearts that call me DaddyA roof, a prayer, and a place to landMore than I ever dreamed I'd haveSo let the whole bar raise a glassTo the grace that found a stubborn manI'm blessed, boys, yes I amI'm blessed with this family in my hands
Verse 2
The foreman yelled, the west wind kicked the dust upA busted line put everybody lateI caught myself grinnin' at a picture on my phoneYour Sunday dress and the kids beside the gateOne's got your patience, one has got my restless feetBoth of 'em got a little bit of our nameI spend my days tryin' to build a better lifeThen I drive home to the reason why I came
Pre‑Chorus
When the tired starts to pull me downYour love turns this whole thing aroundAnd every mile of this old roadFeels like a blessing headed home
Chorus
I've got a good woman waitin' on meTwo little hearts that call me DaddyA roof, a prayer, and a place to landMore than I ever dreamed I'd haveSo let the whole bar raise a glassTo the grace that found a stubborn manI'm blessed, boys, yes I amI'm blessed with this family in my hands
Bridge
If I ever get too busy counting what I lackPut that little note beneath the keys againI'll remember every good thing's waiting at the doorAnd thank the Lord before I walk in
Final Chorus
I've got a good woman waitin' on meTwo little hearts that call me DaddyA roof, a prayer, and a place to landMore than I ever dreamed I'd haveSo let the whole bar raise a glassTo the grace that found a stubborn manI'm blessed, boys, yes I amI'm blessed with this family in my handsYeah, I'm blessed, boys, yes I amWith her, those kids, and this life in my hands
Outro
I'll bring home the milk, she'll save me a plateThose little voices make the whole day worth the waitI'm blessed, boys, yes I am
