Thank you all so much for being so good to us

This time and every time

It's always such a pleasure and an honor for us to come back to Birmingham

Get treated so well, it's so nice, thank y'all

I grew up two hours north of Birmingham

Me and my daddy used to fish next to Wilson Dam

He told me stories, Camaros and J.W. Dant

When I got a little older, I wouldn't and now daddy can't

But I thank God for the TVA

Thank God for the TVA

When 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

Watching the raccoons and terrapins dance on the 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

When me and my baby used to hide out and wait on the day

Thank God for the TVA

My granddaddy told me, when he was just seven or so

His daddy lost work and they didn't have a row to hoe

Got a little to eat for nine boys and three girls

They all lived in a tent, bunch of sharecroppers versus the world

So his mama sat down, wrote a letter to FDR

And a couple days later some county men came in a car

They rode out in the field, told his daddy to put down the plow

He helped build the dam that gave power to most of the South

So I thank God for the TVA

Thank God for the TVA

When Roosevelt let us all work for an honest day's pay

Thank God for the TVA

Thank God for the TVA

Thank you
