The 11 Best Country Thanksgiving Songs

2. It’s a Great Day to be Alive by Travis Tritt

We continue celebrating what we are thankful for with Travis Tritt’s “It’s a Great Day to be Alive.”

“I got rice cookin’ in the microwave. Got a three day beard, I don’t plan to shave and it’s a goofy thing, but I just gotta say, ‘Hey I’m doing alright.’”

“And it’s a great day to be alive. I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes. There’s some hard time in the neighborhood but why can’t every day be just this good?”

He’s right It’s a great day to be alive and we are thankful to be alive and celebrate everything God has granted us.

“It’s A Great Day To Be Alive” was written by Darrel Scott. Travis Tritt recorded his version in 2000 on his Down the Road I Go album. It hit #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

And finally what you’ve been waiting for. #1 is “Thanksgiving” by Johnny Cash.
