Fittingly, the song about counting your blessings' video arrived the Tuesday (Nov. 24) before Thanksgiving.
"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," McGraw wrote on social media. "The ones we share it with. Everything else is gravy."
Two-thirds of the writers of "Gravy," Allen Shamblin and Tom Douglas, wrote one of the best introspective story-songs of the century, Miranda Lambert's Grammy award-winner "The House That Built Me." Shamblin and Douglas share co-writer credits for "Gravy" with Andy Albert, whose body of work includes Carrie Underwood's "The Bullet."
McGraw's Aug. 2020 album also includes a musical ode to a peer ("Sheryl Crow") and another memorable song co-written by Lori McKenna, "Hard to Stay Mad." McKenna wrote McGraw's Grammy-winning 2016 hit "Humble and Kind."
"Gravy" Lyrics
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
