Twenty-nine days till our ship comes in
We'll be together again
They say: Bubba, how you've been?
How's your mom and them?
We'll go throw the ball around
Try not to let it hit the ground
While the kids make a beautiful sound
Cut loose, away they bound

As the wind blows there goes
My whole world
Like a ray of sunshine
I'm grateful today for
My whole world
That sweet peace of mind

Underneath the pin oak tree
Pass family recipes
They'll bring you to your knees
Make room for seconds, please
All the peanutbutter pie
We talk about how time flies
And how all the good ones die
And all those tears we cry

As the wind blows there goes
My whole world
Like a ray of sunshine
I'm grateful today for
My whole world
That sweet peace of mind

Woo-hoo, ooh
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh

Twenty-nine days till our ship comes in
We'll be together again
They'll say: Bubba, how you've been?
How's your mom and them?
We'll go throw the ball around
Try not to let it hit the ground
While the babies make beautiful sounds
Cut loose, away they bound

As the wind blows there goes
My whole world
Like a ray of sunshine
I'm grateful today for
My whole world
That sweet peace of mind

I'm grateful, he's there for
My whole world
