Lyric:
Can’t seem to shake your presence; doesn’t seem right, been so much time
You must have slipped inside a dream last night, to be here on my mind
I forgot all the emotions that used to come with thoughts of you
No anger, fear, depression no this time it’s simply gratitude

Chorus
Cause thanks to you, I learned not to drink and drive
You taught me to, not wash my coloreds with my whites
Since we’ve been through, I’ve got my golf game under par
I wouldn’t know where to find you after all this time
I can look back now and know, I owe a thanks to you

A time or two I’ve wondered as I’ve stared up at the stars
‘Bout the people, places, the circumstances that make us who we are
Dad tried to teach me wisdom, and how to take one on the chin
Mom she taught me patience, and I can’t wait till it kicks in

Chorus
But thanks to you, I’ve traveled round the earth
Since we’ve been through, I’ve doubled my net worth
Yeah, thanks to you, I’m a whiz at solitaire
I wouldn’t know where to find you after all this time
I can look back now and know, I owe a thanks to you

Bridge
Heartbreak’s never easy
But time can pack away the blues
It’s been long enough to realize
I know, I owe, a many thanks to you

Chorus
Cause I can cook just like a chef
And since you cut me loose, I’ve learned to sleep all by myself
Thanks to you, I’m feeling bullet proof
I wouldn’t know where to find you after all this time
I can look back now and know, I owe a thanks to you

Cause I know what love’s about
Thanks to you, I know when to tuck tail and get out
Thanks to you, I had to put my trust in God
I wouldn’t know where to find you after all this time
I can look back now and know, I owe a thanks to you
