[00:00.00]ALAN JACKSON LYRICS
[00:02.91]"To Do What I Do"
[00:06.58]Lyrics By: leon1557
[00:09.29]
[00:10.57]I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk
[00:15.72]I've shoveled manure till my pride hurt
[00:20.53]When you're starting out, it's all part of the work
[00:25.57]To do what I do
[00:30.05]I've been evicted for not making rent
[00:35.01]Made my Daddy wonder where my good sense went
[00:39.62]For the price of a dream, my years have been spent
[00:45.67]To do what I do
[00:47.99]
[00:49.35]So I stand here tonight with this six string guitar
[00:54.32]To be something I've always been in my heart
[00:59.42]Just for the chance to play you my song
[01:04.26]The thrill when I hear you singing along
[01:08.74]It's been worth everything I've been through
[01:13.02]To do what I do
[01:16.64]
[01:19.18]I've played for empty tables and chairs
[01:23.63]The drunks that don't listen, the crowds that dont care
[01:28.28]Been told countless times Boy you ain't goin' nowhere
[01:33.56]To do what I do
[01:37.76]
[01:38.33]So I hope the critics and skeptics alike
[01:42.92]All bought a ticket to this show tonight
[01:47.88]And they'll see firsthand that I have survived
[01:52.84]And what doesn't kill you makes you more alive
[01:57.75]And I'm one of the fortunate few
[02:01.35]To do what I do
[02:05.36]
[02:07.35]There's so much joy this music can bring
[02:12.10]So I count my blessings when I step up to sing
[02:16.64]Cause they're so many people who would give anything
[02:22.11]To do what I do
[02:25.96]
[02:27.77]And I thank you
[02:32.43]I can do what I do
[02:39.76]------END-------
