Thank You Next Thought I'd end up with Logan But he wasn't a match Wrote some songs about Jody Now I listen and laugh I even got married And for Tea Cake, I'm thankful Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Tea Cake Cause he was an angel
One taught me love One taught me patience And one taught me pain Now, I'm so amazing I've loved and I've lost But that's not what I see So, look what I got Look what you taught me And for that, I say
Thank you, next Thank you, next Thank you, next I'm so I’m so grateful for my ex
