Il testo della To do what i do

Alan Jackson

I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk
I've shoveled manure till my pride hurt
When you're startin' out, it's all part of the work
To do what i do

I've been evicted for not makin' 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 singin' 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, crowds that don't 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
