I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Till I got, got a lot more to give
I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Lord knows I love the life I live

This old road's been so good to me
I've been given much more than I ever dreamed
I won't ever stop playing these blues
That's what I think He put me here to do

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Feel like I've got a lot more to give
I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Lord knows I love the life I live

So many good friends I've lost along the way
I know I'll meet 'em again on some uncloudy day
Until then there's more songs to be sung
 [bad word] a long way but we're a long way from being done

I thank the Lord
I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
But I feel like I got a lot more to give
I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Lord knows I love the life I live
Thank You, Lord, I love the life I live

You got that right, B, I love the life we live, Buddy
I spend a many nights listening to you play
You still sound good, oh, you too sound good, Buddy
Keep on doing it 

Your nickname is a good name for me
Because I believe you are my buddy
I love the life I live
You're the best that ever did it and got away with it

Well, thanks a lot
You ain't done it so bad yourself, old boy
When I'm pushing up daisies, don't forget
You're still my buddy
