THANKS A LOT

The Ex called to yell this morning

Said you need to watch your Son

And don’t you dare call up your Mom

The minute we get off the phone

I’m putting him in the car right now

We’ll be there in a little while

God, thanks a lot, for the big thumbs up

When I walked her down the aisle

~~~*Chorus*~~~

You Coulda locked the door, every single time

She tried to get in my truck

You coulda trapped me in the elevator

When I went to get the tux

You coulda struck me dumb with lightning

Smote the flowers I would bring

I think it was cruel, to let me play the fool

And give that girl a ring

~~*~~

Well, of course, she had to stop this evening

Yeah, I had a great time with him

But when she knocked on the front door

The sun hid and the clouds moved in

I growled, and said, it’s a little late

For the warnings you perform

Yeah, thanks a lot, for the big thumbs up

That helped me avoid that storm

I get sick each time…I have to see her face

Shudder when I hear her voice

But to see the best thing in my life

I just don’t have any choice

So I stand up straight, hold it all inside

And I try not to throw up

The minute that she is out of sight

I delight in our sweet Son

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

I don’t believe that everything’s predestined in this life

That God condones all the broken homes

Or the pain of any child

But I do believe that he can see, and judge us, everyone

I joke with him, about the big thumbs up

But can’t thank him near enough

I’ll put up with that Ex 

Until my days are done

I've already thanked her once

Now I thank God for my Son

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Thanks a lot…

You didn't lock the door, every single time

She tried to get in my truck

You didn't trap me in the elevator

When I went to get the tux

You didn't strike me dumb with lightning

Smote the flowers I would bring

Yeah it was cruel to let me play the fool

And give that girl a ring

~~*~~

Well God…
It’s all said and done
And I thank You for my Son
~~*~~
