The Old Tin Shelf

Verse 1

My barn's got a creaky hinge

Rust on the gate swings slow

Coffee's weak and eggs are cold some mornings

But that porch light's always glowin' when I come down the road

Neighbor's got a brand new truck

Shiny as a summer moon

I wave him by and count my blessings

Got a good dog and a fiddle that's been playin' out of tune

Pre-Chorus

Lord I used to wish and wonder

For the things I never owned

Till I looked around at all I'd gathered

And found I wasn't alone

Chorus

I got enough and that's a plenty

Full cup on an old tin shelf

Grain in the bin and wood for the winter

Thankful for the hand I'm dealt

I got enough and that's a plenty

More than I deserve myself

Verse 2

My boots got holes and patches

Roof leaks when the rain comes down

But grandma's quilt lays on the bed I'm sleeping

And Sunday dinner fills the table with the whole town

Saw a man downtown last Friday

Sleeping on a cardboard bed

Looks my way and tips his hat like always

Made me grateful for this roof above my head

Pre-Chorus

Lord I used to wish and wonder

For the things I never owned

Till I looked around at all I'd gathered

And found I wasn't alone

Chorus

I got enough and that's a plenty

Full cup on an old tin shelf

Grain in the bin and wood for the winter

Thankful for the hand I'm dealt

I got enough and that's a plenty

More than I deserve myself

Bridge

Counting what I have not what I'm missing

Soil in my hands and stars above

A willing heart and honest labor

That's a fortune made of love

Chorus

I got enough and that's a plenty

Full cup on an old tin shelf

Grain in the bin and wood for the winter

Thankful for the hand I'm dealt

I got enough and that's a plenty

More than I deserve myself
