Thank You World - The Statler Brothers

I wanna thank you world for lettin' me belong

I’m just one fourth of one small group that sings your songs

I know that there are others who have served in bigger ways

All I can do is sing your music all my days

It makes me grateful just to know to know that I can be

Unique and fill a spot beside the other three

Without a place here in this world I know that I’d be lost

Thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause

I may not ever stand like Stonewall Jackson stood

But standing on that stage to me is just as good

And I may never be a heavy or a great

But you’ve given me the strenght the strenght to pull me weight

Oh for the part I sing is truly part of me

And it does its part to lock the other parts in key

And it does its part to pull to pull that sweet applause

So thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause

Oh world you’ve given me a place that I call mine

Though I’ve stepped out of it and I’ve gotten out of line

Sometimes I sing your music slightly out of key

And I know I make it harder for the other three

Oh I’ve always done my part the very best I could

And it’s done with other guys oh world you could

You’ve let me sing your praises world and harp about your faults

I thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause

It makes me grateful just to know…

Without a place here in this world…

Thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause
