God Gives Us Life And

[my Father] Did Every Kind Of Work Imaginable From Painting To Shoveling To Herding Cattle. And He's Always Been Such An Inspiration To Me Because Of The Very Kinds Of Things That He Did And The Kind Of Life He Lived.

Everybody Was Wearing Rhinestones, All Those Sparkly Clothes, And Cowboy Boots. I Decided To Wear A Black Shirt And Pants And See If I Could Get By With It. I Did And I've Worn Black Clothes Ever Since.

I Read Novels But I Also Read The Bible. And Study It, You Know? And The More I Learn, The More Excited I Get.

For You I Know I'd Even Try To Turn The Tide.

I'm Thankful For A Pair Of Shoes That Feel Really Good On My Feet; I Like My Shoes. I'm Thankful For The Birds; I Feel Like They're Singing Just For Me When I Get Up In The Morning... Saying, 'good Morning, John. You Made It, John.' I'm Thankful For The Sea Breeze That Feels So Good Right Now, And The Scent Of Jasmine When The Sun Starts Going Down. I'm Thankful.
