I wrote this song on piano many years ago when I was feeling pretty low about being single for so long. It's an expression of genuine Thankfulness for all I have in my life. It's also a musical prayer sent up to the Heavens asking for Love to come my way. So far I'm still single though I've had a few minor train wreck relationships in the mean time. I hope you enjoy the guitar version of this song.

ThankfulWords & Music by John Barrett & JW Brown

My old man he once said, “Son you’re better off livin’ than dead”Now I’m still breathin’ you see, guess I’m doin’ it all for meI’m Thankful for all I’ve got, but I never seem to get a lot

I’ll cry an ocean of tears, yeah I’ve been doin’ it here for yearsAnd might that ocean run dry – does it really matter when you’re high?I’m Thankful for all I’ve got Lord but I never seem to get a lot

I never seem to get a lot of what I really needAnd Love is what I really needJust to be sure, I’ll spend a little time prayin’ on my kneesSaying Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Well Sunday morning I’m home, wish I could call you on the telephoneThere’s apple pie in the sky and will I really see you in the by and byI’m Thankful for all I’ve got Lord but I never seem to get a lotAmen
