WATCH: Tim McGraw Shares a Montage of Home Movies in "Gravy"
Call this an epiphany, but Tim McGraw looks at life the way we should all be looking at life on Thanksgiving.
His song "Gravy" -- brought to you by the pens of Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin ("The House That Built Me") and Andy Albert -- now has a video to go with it, just in time for the time of year when we're all counting our blessings. Yes, even this year. It features some classic old home movies of the whole McGraw family.
The song is from McGraw's Here on Earth album released in August. On Tuesday (Nov. 23), McGraw shared the video on social media. "I know Thanksgiving looks a little different for a lot of us this year. Let’s take care of each other and remember what’s most important in life," he wrote. "The ones we share it with. Everything else is gravy."
Full lyrics for "Gravy":
Call this an epiphany
Seein' the same things differently
Maybe mama's prayer caught up with me
Startin' to get it now
If my window to the world is the evening news
Only song I'll sing is gonna be the blues
Maybe happiness is a choice you choose
Startin' to get it now
Got a flatbed Ford and four good tires
Biscuits in the oven, chicken in the fryer
Lights turned on, cable paid
If you asked me, I got it made
If I could hug my kids and kiss my wife
One more day in this crazy life
Take a second to stop and smell the daisies
Everything else is gravy
Got the classics playing on my radio
Promises to keep and miles to go
Still dreaming of the cherry red GTO
Even if I'll never get it
Got a flatbed Ford and four good tires
Biscuits in the oven, chicken in the fryer
Lights turned on, cable paid
If you asked me, I got it made
If I could hug my kids and kiss my wife
One more day in this crazy life
Take a second to stop and smell the daisies
Everything else is gravy
Starch fresh-pressed Sunday shirt
Dinner after church
Holdin' hands and prayers are prayed
Hot fried chicken, cold lemonade
If I can hug my kids and kiss my wife
Live one more day in this crazy life
Lay my body down and hold my baby
I know the good Lord'll save me
Everything else is gravy
