Lyrics

Still Grateful

Verse 1
I’m a thousand miles away in this fleabag hotel.
An ATM is down the hall,
A fake Picasso on the wall.
So I’m not there as moonlight kisses your face.
Nonetheless I’m on my knees seeking God’s dear grace.

That you’re with me even when I don’t have a prayer.
And your words of wisdom feel like breathing filtered air.
Do you recall when we spent a night south of Paradise near that bakery selling homemade apple pie.

Chorus
I’m grateful, still grateful.
Grateful I got you.
I’m grateful, still grateful.
Grateful I got you.


Verse 2

I was a child cheatin’ time when we met.
Going through motions but not placing many bets.
I couldn’t know the curving line, as we loaded up your Chevy, I still hear the rhythm of her grind.

We headed then to Georgetown north of Austin off I-35.
We had quarter mares and you taught me to ride.
For the first time neighbors knew who we were.
No more hiding or pretending - just a girl lovin’ a girl.
Just a girl lovin’ a girl.

Pre-chorus, Chorus, Outro
On this journey we call life,
Hope I’ve made a decent wife.

Cuz I’m grateful, still grateful.
Grateful I got you.
I’m grateful, still grateful.
Grateful I got you.
I’m grateful, still grateful.
Grateful I got you.
