Thank you, Liz!! My wife and I were Blessed to get to drop by and see them yesterday for Veterans Day and they performed this wonderful song!! We really always enjoy coming up watch them😊 They always make our hearts smile!!😊😊
Just what we need in today's crazy world. A lovely song that shines the light on how important family and good morals and values are. Godbless and Godspeed. I love your song and talent. ♥️
If this family..doesn’t make you smile..with the love they have for each other or the music they play..your not human..happy thanksgiving to the petersens..and to you to Emmett
Happy thanksgiving y'all... And just know, if you're listening to this and reading this, you've passed the pub test in my book without even knowing you ♥️ From Gold Coast, Australia
I love this video! Just one of the best by 'The Petersens'! Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day.....and I am thankful for the Petersens! Thanks for sharing this.
What a beautiful, perfect song for Thanksgiving. And, of course, you all exemplify what you’re singing about so well. That’s the secret of the Petersens! Happy Thanksgiving!
What a talented beautiful family. Emmett is awesome too. The missing piece to wonderful talent. He fits in so well in the band. Congrats on all the success.
Hmmmmm someone must be cutting onions for Thanksgiving dinner in here......... Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and the grandfather bit tugged at the ole heartstrings
It's just a year old! Ben Rector said he hadn't ever heard a Thanksgiving song and wanted to write one that captured the magic and nostalgia. His video's incredible ua-cam.com/video/QwaxNPY5nIY/v-deo.html
Beautiful song and yes thank God for Thanksgiving Day. And a great reminder to let us all be truly thankful to God for all he gives us. Thanks for sharing. Blessings in Christ.
Well there's one more thing I'm thankful for, it's the Peterson Family and not just their marvelous Talent, but also their character , their morals, and family values. They are truly a light shining in Darkness. God bless you and thank you so very much.
Some things don't change like love of family. Others yes, like my love for bluegrass music that I will no longer change. Thank you Petersens for presenting such beautiful music to the world
As a foreigner i had a honor and privilege to take a part in Thanksgiving dinner last year and it was absolutely amazing. So many friendly people, delicious food and family atmosphere. Absolutely wholesome and i can't wait for next one. Also i have your cover on a loop since that day, haha. Wonderful performance. Thank you!
Thanks for this music today. Both parents recently went to sit at the feet of Jesus. We need to gather once more & continue to make memories. Thanks be to God for God's blessings!
Nice to hear the mandolin being used more prominently in the instrumental mix. As her skill level increases Julianne has become more the than just percussion and an additional voice. Good work.
*LYRICS - Thanksgiving Song*
------------
Familiar highways
Lined with leaves turned brown
Making my way
Back into my hometown
Funny how this all looks different
But it feels the same
Like how life never stops changing
But some things never change
So fill your plate and fill your drink
And fill this house with family
The kind of love that all these years can't wash away
'Cause the older that I get
I see that life is short and bittersweet
Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day
Watching football
Watching families grow
The old kids' table
All have kids of their own
Starting to see my grandfather
In my nephew's eyes
Mom still can't talk about him
And not almost cry
So fill your plate and fill your drink
And fill this house with family
The kind of love a thousand miles can't wash away
'Cause the older that I get
I see that life is short and bittersweet
Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day
So fill your plate and fill your drink
Put your dishes in the kitchen sink
And let the leftover year just wash away
'Cause we made it through, I do believe
The longest year in history
Thank God it's Thanksgiving Day
So fill your plate and fill your drink
And fill this house with family
The kind of love a thousand miles can't wash away
'Cause the older that I get
I see that life is short and bittersweet
Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day
Oh, thank God that it's Thanksgiving, hmmm
