song lyrics  To Do What I Do lyrics

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

And I thank you
I can do what I do
