There's plenty of weeks that we can't afford to stay
But we've always got something good on our plates
And I count my blessings
This ain't no mansion,
it's a house and a yard It keeps out
the rain if it don't rain real hard
And I count my blessings
I count on my fingers the real friends I have
I count on the good times outweighing the bad
And I count on my faith that someday I'll figure out
Why there are so many who don't have a blessing to count
The weekend comes round and we kinda get bored
But pizza and movies are what we can't afford
And I count my blessings I've got a job but it won't make me rich
My friends who are laid off would love
to have it And I count my blessings
I count on my woman for love every day And
I count on my kids for a smile on my face
And I count on my faith that someday I'll figure out
Why there's those who have plenty and those who have some
But there's just too many of those who have none
And I count on my faith that someday I'll figure out
Why there are so many who don't have a blessing to count
Why there are so many who don't have a blessing to count
