[Intro]
Lord I'm just sittin' here looking over my life Lord
Let me take inventory
Can I take it?
Can I take it?

'Cause I know you've
I know you've
I know you've been good to me Lord

[Verse 1]
I come from a poor family
We didn't have much
But the Lord's been good to me

I come from a poor family
We didn't have much
But the Lord's been good to me

Come from a poor family
We didn't have much
But the Lord's been good to me
Let me tell y'all something

[Bridge]
I didn't have no money
How many of y'all were like that
A lot of my friends thought that was funny
But I'm so glad today
That I can stand right here and say
That the Lord's been good to me
Let me tell y'all one more thing
[Verse 2]
We were raised in a shack, ya'll
Sometimes the clothes were thin
That we put on our backs
Listen here, Momma and Daddy, they done the best they could
They always told me, "Son, always be good."
But, out of all the things, hey
I know that the Lord's been good to me
