What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk
2
I've shoveled manure till my pride hurt
3
When you're startin' out, it's all part of the work
4
To do what I do
5
I've been evicted for not makin' rent
6
Made my daddy wonder where my good sense went
7
For the price of a dream, my years have been spent
8
To do what I do
9
So I stand here tonight with this six string guitar
10
To be something I've always been in my heart
11
Just for the chance to play you my song
12
The thrill when I hear you singin' along
13
It's been worth everything I've been through
14
To do what I do
15
I've played for empty tables and chairs
16
The drunks that don't listen, crowds that don't care
17
Been told countless times, "Boy, you ain't goin' nowhere"
18
To do what I do
19
So I hope the critics and skeptics alike
20
All bought a ticket to this show tonight
21
And they'll see firsthand that I have survived
22
And what doesn't kill you makes you more alive
23
And I'm one of the fortunate few
24
To do what I do
25
There's so much joy this music can bring
26
So I count my blessings when I step up to sing
27
Cause they're so many people who would give anything
28
To do what I do
29
And I thank you
30
I can do what I do
