Lyrics

The rent is paid, my belly's full
Thank you God for being cool
And giving us more than we need
The morning comes I hit the streets
See your face in every soul I meet
Guess I'll just sit in wonder for a while
It ain't hard to be grateful
A little food on the table
A woman willing and able
To give a piece of her mind
It ain't hard to be happy my friend
There's a whole lotta life to live
One day it's all gonna end
So let your little light shine
The evening comes I hit the streets
Feel the earth beneath my feet
Let my spirit move into the night
This world's insane but I'm built to last
Sweet Mary Jane and my sorrows past
Guess I'll just sit in wonder for a while
It ain't hard to be grateful
A little food on the table
A woman willing and able
To give a piece of her mind
It ain't hard to be happy my friend
There's a whole lotta life to live
One day it's all gonna end
So let your little light shine
There's this truck stop cafe
Just south of La Grange Georgia
If you're headed north on 85
The coffee ain't worth a damn but it's strong
My good friend Tina works behind the counter
Life's been hard on Tina
Ten bucks an hour, ten hour days
For god knows how many years
But she always finds a reason to put her make up on
And she always hits you with a smile
And she says
It ain't hard to be grateful
A little food on the table
A woman willing and able
To give a piece of her mind
It ain't hard to be happy my friend
There's a whole lotta life to live
One day it's all gonna end
So let your little light shine
It ain't hard to be grateful
A little food on the table
A woman willing and able
To give a piece of her mind
It ain't hard to be happy my friend
There's a whole lotta life to live
One day it's all gonna end
So let your little light shine
It ain't hard to be grateful
A little food on the table
A woman willing and able
To give a piece of her mind
It ain't hard to be happy my friend
There's a whole lotta life to live
One day it's all gonna end
So let your little light shine
Let your love light shine
