Chris Smither - Thanks To You Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"Thanks To You"
(originally by Jesse Winchester)

I know I'm a sinner, I ain't some beginner
I'm gonna uncork me a pint of trouble
And I'll sit down and drink a double

I'm thirsty for something lighter
That could get me even tighter and tighter
Until some day I swear I hear angels play

Goodness, is it really real?
It would take a child to know the way I feel
Oh my, floating in the blue
I could take the credit but it's thanks to you

Well, someday up in glory
I'll weep and tell the story
To someone who will smile and say
"You're a mess, but you're my child"

Goodness, is it really real?
It would take a child to know the way I feel
Oh my, floating in the blue
I could take the credit but it's thanks to you

I'm thirsty for something lighter
That could get me even tighter and tighter
Until some day I swear I hear angels play

But someday up in glory
I'll weep and tell my story
To someone who will smile and say
"You're a mess, but you're my child"

Goodness, is it really real?
It would take a child to know the way I feel
Oh my, floating in the blue
I could take the credit but it's thanks to you
Goodness, is it really real?
It would take a child to know the way I feel
Oh my, floating in the blue
I could take the credit but it's thanks to you
