Alan Jackson - To Do What I Do (live) Lyrics
(By Tim Johnson)I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerkI've shoveled manure till my pride hurt.When you're starting out, it's all part of the workTo do what I do.I've been evicted for not making rentMade my Daddy wonder where my good sense went.For the price of a dream, my years have been spentTo do what I do.So I stand here tonight with this six string guitarTo be something I've always been in my heart.Just for the chance to play you my songThe thrill when I hear you singing along.It's been worth everything I've been throughTo do what I do.I've played for empty tables and chairsThe drunks that don't listen, the crowds that dont care.Been told countless times Boy you ain't goin' nowhereTo do what I do.So I hope the critics and skeptics alikeAll bought a ticket to this show tonight.And they'll see firsthand that I have survivedAnd what doesn't kill you makes you more alive.And I'm one of the fortunate fewTo do what I do.There's so much joy this music can bringSo I count my blessings when I step up to sing.'Cause they're so many people who would give anythingTo do what I do.And I thank you.I can do what I do!
