No, no it ain't the way it used to be and Yeah, yes, it may be hard to believe When, when, I think all my blessings I, oh I, tellin you God's been good to me Growing up in a real big family I had to take what I could get There was always a sister or brother I had to share everything with I had to share my room, wear Hand-me-downs 'Cause we didn't have much money But now there's not much I long for Tellin you God's been good to me No, no it ain't the way it used to be and Yeah, yes, it may be hard to believe When, when, I think all my blessings I, oh I, tellin you God's been good to me You may think I've got it easy And that's the way it's always been But that's not the story I'll tell you how it all happened I had to work real hard to get here But I didn't do it all alone Someone was watching over me And that is why i sing this song No, no it ain't the way it used to be and Yeah, yes, it may be hard to believe When, when, I think all my blessings I, oh I, tellin you God's been good to me If I began to count my blessings I wouldn't know where to begin God has done so muchfor me He's been much more than a friend He's been protector and provider Though I didn't always know Always been right there beside me And without him where would I be (Chorus)
