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 starting out, it's all part of the work
4
To do what I do.
5
I've been evicted for not making 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 singing 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, the crowds that dont 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!
