In the heart of the city - twelve-bar blues - full

(Verse 1) In the heart of the city, where the noise never fades, I've got a slice of heaven, in the love that we've made. With a woman so fine, she's the light of my days, And three boys so bright, they're my hope, my praise. (Chorus) Oh, I'm thankful, oh so grateful, For the laughter and the life in my home. In a world that's spinning, sometimes unforgiving, I've got a love that's solid as stone. (Verse 2) She's got eyes like the sunrise, and a smile that won't quit, Every day by her side feels like the perfect fit. And our boys, oh they're growing, with each joke and each hit, Their futures unfolding, and I'm proud of it. (Chorus) Yes, I'm thankful, truly grateful, For the health and the happiness we own. In a world that's uncertain, behind every curtain, I've got a joy that's fully grown. (Bridge) When the news brings the blues, and the world's in a spin, I just look at my boys, and my wife's loving grin. And I know deep inside, that no matter the din, We've got something special, a light from within. (Verse 3) We'll sit at the table, share stories and dreams, Talk of tomorrow, and all that it means. With a bond unbreakable, and love that redeems, We're a family unshakable, a team of high beams. (Chorus) So I'm thankful, deeply grateful, For the peace and the pleasure we've sown. In a world full of chaos, where the wild wind blows, I've got a sanctuary, a place that I know. (Outro) And I'll sing it out loud, let the whole world hear, There's hope in the heartache, and joy in the tear. For as long as I'm living, with my loved ones near, I'll be thankful, oh so thankful, year after year.
