Intro: I grew up two hours north of Birmingham Me and my daddy used to fish next to Wilson Dam He told some stories, Camaros and J.W. Dant When I got a little older, I wouldn't and now Daddy can't So I thank God for the TVA Thank God for the TVA Where me and my daddy used to bow to the river and pray Thank God for the TVA When I was 15, me and my girl sat out on the lock Watchin' the raccoons and terrapins dance on rocks She let me put my hand up under her shirt I wanted her to want me so bad, it hurt So I thank God for the TVA Thank God for the TVA Where me and my baby used to lay around and wait on the day Thank God for the TVA Intro: My granddaddy told me when he was just 7 or so His daddy lost work and they didn't have a row to hoe Not too much to eat for 7 boys and 3 girls All lived in a tent, a bunch of sharecroppers versus the world So his momma sat down and wrote a letter to FDR Then a couple days later, a couple of country men came in a car Rolled out in the field, told his daddy to put down the plow And he helped build the damn, gave power to most the South So I thank God for the TVA Thank God for the TVA Where Roosevelt let us all work for an honest day's pay Thank God for the TVA
