What I Wouldn't Give

These days I often think I should be more thankful than I am

I'm still chasing the wrong things, and I act like a boy instead of a man

I live a lifestyle I can't afford, and I worry about the things I wish I had

And I sit there in my loneliness and focus on all the bad

I lose track of the path I'm on, and I underestimate the life I live

I talk to God and mumble, oh Lord, what I wouldn't give

For one more ice cold beer at the end of a long hot day

A few more hours of sleep, and a job with a little more pay

One more Saturday night with the boys out on the town

A pretty girl I can sing to, and a dog to chase me around

I may not have everything I want, but I got everything I need

But what I wouldn't give to be a little more happy

With what the good Lord's given me

Reminiscing on my younger days gets me thinking about those I miss

If I only knew the good times growing up would lead to this

I've held so many memories with you, and the hurt in my heart is forever strong

I wish you were still here with us now, watching me up on stage, singing this song

I know you'd lift my spirits and remind me to keep my head high as long as I live

Yeah, I talk to God and mumble, oh Lord, what I wouldn't give

For one more boat ride to that spot out on the water

A few more cups of coffee with the ones who raised my father

One more unread voicemail, Grandpa's voice in my ear

A few more hugs goodbye from the ones I wish were still here

I know they're not in pain anymore, and they're feeling so damn free

But what I wouldn't give to be a little more happy,

with the time the good Lord gave to me

Yeah, what I wouldn't give

Yeah, what I wouldn't give
