To Do What I Do lyrics translation: ALAN JACKSON To Do What I Do song texte and letras ALAN JACKSON To Do What I Do tab, paroles and testo ALAN JACKSON To Do What I Do Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
I`ve been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk
I`ve shoveled manure till my pride hurt.
When you`re starting out, it`s all part of the work
To do what I do.
I`ve been evicted for not making rent
Made my Daddy wonder where my good sense went.
For the price of a dream, my years have been spent
To do what I do.
So I stand here tonight with this six string guitar
To be something I`ve always been in my heart.
Just for the chance to play you my song
The thrill when I hear you singing along.
It`s been worth everything I`ve been through
To do what I do.
I`ve played for empty tables and chairs
The drunks that don`t listen, the crowds that dont care.
Been told countless times Boy you ain`t goin` nowhere
To do what I do.
So I hope the critics and skeptics alike
All bought a ticket to this show tonight.
And they`ll see firsthand that I have survived
And what doesn`t kill you makes you more alive.
And I`m one of the fortunate few
To do what I do.
There`s so much joy this music can bring
So I count my blessings when I step up to sing.
`Cause they`re so many people who would give anything
To do what I do.
