DON HENLEY - My Thanksgiving lyrics
rate me(don henley/stan lynch/jai winding)<br><br>A lot of things have happened<br>Since the last time we spoke<br>Some of them are funny<br>Some of 'em ain't no joke<br>And I trust you will forgive me<br>If I lay it on the line<br>I always thought you were a friend of mine<br><br>Sometimes I think about you<br>I wonder how you're doing now<br>And what you're going through<br><br>The last time I saw you<br>We were playing with fire<br>We were loaded with passion<br>And a burning desire<br>For every breath, for every day of living<br>And this is my thanksgiving<br><br>Now the trouble with you and me, my friend<br>Is the trouble with this nation<br>Too many blessings, too little appreciation<br>And I know that kind of notion¡ºwell, it just ain't cool<br>So send me back to sunday school<br>Because I'm tired of waiting for reason to arrive<br>It's too long we've been living<br>These unexamined lives<br><br>I've got great expectations<br>I've got family and friends<br>I've got satisfying work<br>I've got a back that bends<br>For every breath, for every day of living<br>This is my thanksgiving<br><br>Have you noticed that an angry man<br>Can only get so far<br>Until he reconciles the way he thinks things ought to be<br>With the way things are<br><br>Here in this fragmented world, I still believe<br>In learning how to give love, and how to receive it<br>And I would not be among those who abuse this privilege<br>Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge<br><br>And I don't mind saying that I still love it all<br>I wallowed in the springtime<br>Now I'm welcoming the fall<br>For every moment of joy<br>Every hour of fear<br>For every winding road that brought me here<br>For every breath, for every day of living<br>This is my thanksgiving<br><br>For everyone who helped me start<br>And for everything that broke my heart<br>For every breath, for every day of living<br>This is my thanksgiving
