Gravy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Call this an epiphany
Seein' the same things differently
Maybe mama's prayer caught up with me
Startin' to get it now

[Verse 2]
If my window to the world is the evening news
Only song I'll sing is gonna be the blues
Maybe happiness is a choice you choose
Startin' to get it now

[Chorus]
Got a flatbed Ford and four good tires
Biscuits in the oven, chicken in the fryer
Lights turned on, cable paid
If you asked me, I got it made
If I could hug my kids and kiss my wife
One more day in this crazy life
Take a second to stop and smell the daisies
Everything else is gravy

[Verse 3]
Got the classics playing on my radio
Promises to keep and miles to go
Still dreaming of the cherry red GTO
Even if I'll never get it
[Chorus]
Got a flatbed Ford and four good tires
Biscuits in the oven, chicken in the fryer
Lights turned on, cable paid
If you asked me, I got it made
If I could hug my kids and kiss my wife
One more day in this crazy life
Take a second to stop and smell the daisies
Everything else is gravy

[Bridge]
Starch fresh-pressed Sunday shirt
Dinner after church
Holdin' hands and prayers are prayed
Hot fried chicken, cold lemonade

[Outro]
If I can hug my kids and kiss my wife
Live one more day in this crazy life
Lay my body down and hold my baby
I know the good Lord'll save me
Everything else is gravy

What did Tim McGraw say about "Gravy"?
Genius Answer

The hook to ‘Gravy’ was just so perfect and special. I just had never heard it quite said that way before. [Songwriter] Tom Douglas, he’s a poet and he’s so good at what he does.
