Alan Jackson - To Do What I Do Lyrics
I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerkI've shoveled manure till my pride hurtWhen you're starting out, it's all part of the workTo do what I doI've been evicted for not making rentMade my Daddy wonder where my good sense wentFor the price of a dream, my years have been spentTo do what I doSo I stand here tonight with this six string guitarTo be something I've always been in my heartJust for the chance to play you my songThe thrill when I hear you singing alongIt's been worth everything I've been throughTo do what I doI've played for empty tables and chairsThe drunks that don't listen, the crowds that dont careBeen told countless times Boy you ain't goin' nowhereTo do what I doSo I hope the critics and skeptics alikeAll bought a ticket to this show tonightAnd they'll see firsthand that I have survivedAnd what doesn't kill you makes you more aliveAnd I'm one of the fortunate fewTo do what I doThere's so much joy this music can bringSo I count my blessings when I step up to singCause they're so many people who would give anythingTo do what I doAnd I thank youI can do what I do
