[Verse 1]
I woke with a pocket full of questions
And dust on the heels of my boots
The road had been bending like a tired old fence
But the morning was telling the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a creek cutting silver through the clover
There’s a hawk riding high over the pine
I don’t need a map to pull me closer
When the whole green world says I’m doing fine
[Chorus]
I’ve got a roof made of blue sky
A table where the wild things grow
A little banjo by my side
And a long way left to go
When the hard days make me wonder
What this life is worth to me
I count the leaves, I count the thunder
And I feel rich as I can be
[Verse 2]
I traded my hurry for a garden
My worry for a pair of worn-out reins
Now the rain taps time on the porch roof
And washes the dust out of my name
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a fox stepping soft by the fence line
There’s warm bread cooling near the door
I used to think that more was more
Now I know what enough is for
[Chorus]
I’ve got a roof made of blue sky
A table where the wild things grow
A little banjo by my side
And a long way left to go
When the hard days make me wonder
What this life is worth to me
I count the leaves, I count the thunder
And I feel rich as I can be
[Bridge]
If tomorrow comes tangled and uncertain
I’ll meet it with both hands open wide
There’s a whole bright world beyond the curtain
And a good earth underneath my stride
[Final Chorus]
I’ve got a roof made of blue sky
A table where the wild things grow
A little banjo by my side
And a long way left to go
When the hard days make me wonder
What this life is worth to me
I count the leaves, I count the thunder
And I feel rich as I can be
Yes, I feel rich as I can be
[Outro]
The creek keeps running, the tall grass bends
I found a fortune in the day I’m in
