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 got to thank momma 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 got to thank momma 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    Momma, Daddy, the devil  Yeah I got to give credit where credit is due  I thank the bank for the money  Thank God for you    I thank momma  I thank daddy  The devil  I got to give credit where credit is due  I thank the bank for the money  Thank God for you
