Well I've been called a self-made man Girl don't you believe it's true I know exactly how lucky I am when I'm gettin' this close to you It's high time I'm giving some praise to those that got me where I am today
Chorus I gotta thank mama for the cookin' Daddy for the whuppin' The devil for the trouble that I get into I got to give credit where credit is due I thank the bank for the money Thank God for you
A strong heart and a willing hand That's the secret to my success A good woman... I try to be a good man A good job, Lord I know I've been blessed I'm just a part of a greater plan It doesn't matter which part I am
Chorus I gotta thank mama for the cookin' Daddy for the whuppin' The devil for the trouble that I get into I got to give credit where credit is due I thank the bank for the money Thank God for you
Chorus I gotta thank mama for the teachin' Daddy for the preachin' The devil for the trouble that I get into I got to give credit where credit is due I thank the bank for the money Thank God for you
