Well, I can't believe I'm sittin' here today
Pickin' on my banjo with a big smile on my face,
Writin' new words to an old school melody.
Hey, there ain't no doubt that God's been good to me!
Oh, the sun is shinin' on down in Tennessee,
And right now where I'm right where I wanna be,
I've never felt so loved, so peaceful and so free.
Hey, there ain't no doubt that God's been good to me!
'Cause he put me smack dab in the middle of Paradise,
In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive,
And everything I have, and everything I see
Is just another reminder that God's been good to me.
This golden road's been long
And sometimes I've lost my way,
I've been down some darkened detours
Leanin' heavy on my faith.
But where the devil had me chained,
Lord, Your love done set me free.
Hallelujah! God's been good to me!
'Cause he put me smack dab in the middle of Paradise,
In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive,
And everything I have, and everything I see
Is just another reminder that God's been good to me.
