Well, I headed out down a dark a dusty trail
Through the mire and the fog, to the abyss I set sail
My ship finally came ashore, I was broke and singin' the blues
But they said I was doin' what I was born to do
'Cause some folks are meant to shine like a diamond in the sun
And some are meant to burn out long before their time has come
Well, somewhere in the middle is where I've paid my dues
Doin' what they said I was born to do
Oh, can you hear them engines rumblin' through the night?
The truth is most the time we just spend ridin'
Dreamin' of back home and all the folks we've left behind
As the miles and years just keep on flyin'
But I've had some good friends with me
And they've helped me make it through
They said we were doin' what we were born to do
Somehow I ended up in Nashville, Tennessee
They said I had lightnin' in a bottle, and the world at my feet
But what they wanted from me, no, I could not stand to lose
But they said I was doin' what I was born to do
As I've climbed the highest mountains, and felt the sharpest falls
I've had my moments in the sun, but they've damn near cost me all
But there's some things in this life that are much worse than the noose
When you're doin' what you born to do
Oh, can you hear them engines rumblin' through the night?
The truth is most the time we just spend ridin'
I'm dreamin' of back home and all the folks we've left behind
As the miles and years just keep on flyin'
But I've had some good friends with me
And they've helped me make it through
They said we was doin' what we were born to do
My best friends are right there with me
And they've helped me make it through
They said we were doin' what we were born to do
