Morning dragged me out of bed,
Feeling heavy, feeling dead,
Morning dragged me out of bed,
The full day lying ahead,
I slowly got up, put on my jeans,
Filled up my cup, opened up them screens,
Had my bowl of cereal
Sipped some Captain’s down the hole,
Key’s still in my pocket from the party the night before,
Boots all muddy outside of my pinewood front door,
I walked my way to my motorcycle,
Shining in the road,
Put on my helmet, earbuds in, listening to my favorite song,
I thank God for rock,
I thank God for roll,
I thank God for all my people,
I thank God for every soul,
I thank God for rum,
I thank God for cigars,
I thank God for beautiful days,
I thank God for bars.
But most of all I thank him for every breathe that I take,
For food upon my table, for every day that I’m awake,
For my family and my friends, and the time that we all spend,
For the Son he gave up to us, I thank God until the end,
Some things seem more important, but I thank him for it all,
But I’ll never forget the one’s I lost or the soldiers that did fall,
(spoken)
Don’t dawn on that too much.
They died for us to enjoy this Earth so, Hell, I’m gonna do it.
(sung)
I thank God for rock,
I thank God for roll,
I thank God for all my people,
I thank God for every soul,
I thank God for rum,
I thank God for cigars,
I thank God for beautiful days,
I thank God for bars,
So, Hell, I’m gonna live this life,
All the way until I die,
Honor God on Holy Sunday,
But in between I’m gonna fly,
Like I said, I’m gonna miss the ones who came and went so fast,
They have a place inside my heart, so for them, I’ll raise a glass,
After all I’ve thanked God for,
After all I’ve said and done,
Music is my freedom,
And I will surely stop for NONE.
(spoken)
Unless I get pulled over, than things get complicated.
Hell, you know what I mean.
(sung)
But I thank God for rock,
I thank God for roll,
I thank God for Jimi Hendrix,
Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple,
I thank God for guitars,
And the drums that back them up,
I thank God for beautiful lyrics,
Hell, even ZZ Top.
Van Halen and Bob Dylan,
The Doors and Joan Jett
Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
And Simple Minds, we CAN’T forget,
I thank God for rock...
