Jonny Lang~Thankful

Jonny Lang~Thankful
Featuring Michael MacDonald
From 'Turn Around'

Someone's standing in a welfare line
Or off the freeway with a hungry sign
Someone's stressing 'bout to lose their mind
I gotta be thankful, thankful

Someone just became a single mother
Someone just lost a sister or brother
It's so important that we love each other
And be

Thankful, thankful
I've gotta take the time to say, that I'm
Thankful, thankful
For every single breath that I take
I've gotta be thankful, thankful

Someone's sitting in a prison cell
Wasting away in ta personal hell
Everybody's got their own story to tell
I've gotta be thankful, thankful

Man, I used to think I didn't have a lot
Now I realize just how much I've got
Now every day I'm gonna take the time and stop to be

/Repeat chorus/

Any one of these so easily could have been me
But if it had not been for grace and mercy who knows where I'd be

I've been riding on this roller coaster ride
'Round and 'round I've seen the up and downside
And I'm here to tell you that the secret of life is being

/Repeat chorus/

Been listening to Jonny since I was growing up and whoo! He has got to be one of my favorites! (:

@Kullman911 You don't know what you are talking about. Johnny Lang is AWESOME!

[DshankumMusic]

You want Jonny Lang's old music, then go listen to his old album, while his real supporters will support him in whatever he wants to do and whatever genre he chooses to express his music in, as it shows versatility and growth as an artist.

@khajvah1 it's not exactly pop bro. While it isn't as bluesy as his other stuff, it's just become more Gospel if anything. Still has the beautiful scale.. ;) but i take back what you said about your musical knowledge, i was obviously wrong.

Musical tastes aside, this guy can shred with his fingers NO DOUBT

[khajvah1]

@fluffysnakeful Dude, go, check "Johnny lang - lie to me" and compare, lie to me is REAL blues, and this is not blues, maybe it has some blues elements but this is not blues

[fluffysnakeful]

@khajvah1 wtf? Pop singer? You don't know shit about music if that's your opinion. This kid is all the Blues...

[khajvah1]

@DshankumMusic i can not tell if he is good or not ( i dont like pop ) but there are many pop singers like he is now(james blunt, maroon 5, etc...).

[DshankumMusic]

@khajvah1 Gospel* It's not like he's dancing around with naked hoes is he? He still is the same soulful man, you can change genres but the soul will never be taken out of him, cos I can still here it and the song still has a good message, being thankful for what you've got. A genre doesn't mean anything, aslong as the artist is good.

[chrissams65]

Lost his blues touch, but still sounds good

[khajvah1]

@Kullman911 I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO AGREE WITH YOU. One more time OLD is best. really, i cant compare this with old jonny. This is just another ORDINARY pop song. From blues to pop. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???

There is no way you can listen to just one Jonny Lang song. You have to go on like a month binge...Then you sleep and repeat.
