Bilingual
I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk
I've shoveled manure until 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 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
To stand here tonight with a six-string guitar
And be what I've always been in my heart
Just for the chance to play you my song
And the thrill when I hear you singin' along
Has been worth everything I've been through
To do what I do
I've played for empty tables and chairs
To drunks that don't listen and crowds that don't care
I've been told countless times, "Boy, you ain't goin' nowhere!"
To do what I do
So I hope the critics and the skeptics alike
All bought a ticket to this show tonight
And they'll see first hand 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 there's so many people who'd give anything
To do what I do
And we thank all of you
We can do what we do
