The Thing's You'll Do
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On a stage behind chicken wire at the roughest biker bar in town
Dodgin' chairs and broken beer bottles but I wouldn't put that guitar down
Down the road another night another show never known' if somebody's showin' up
You live to play another day the things you'd do to do what you love
Oh the things you'll do like sleepin' in an old church van
Where you're payin' your dues playin' for free workin' three jobs so that you can
Well the fact that I'm alive and I'm singin' this song is a miracle from above
Thanks to the man and every fan the things you'll do to do what you love
Out in the cold in the freezin' snow I got down on my knee
Sold my six string and bought you a ring and said honey will you marry me please
Girl I'll admit it it was well worth it but getting rid of that guitar was tough
Thank God you bought it back the next day, the things you'll do to do what you love
Oh the things you'll do like when you woke me up at 4AM
You were seven months pregnant craving ice cream, a jar of pickles and a can of spam
When I heard what you said I jumped out of bed and I drove off in my pick up truck
I saw your smile and it made it all worthwhile the things you'll do to do what you love
Oh the things you'll do like working' overtime making' ends meet
Well you're broke as a joke but it ain't funny always feeling' flat dead on your feet
But the kids are fed and their jumping' on the bed and you can't keep from cracking' up
You're changing ties the Lord provides the things you'll do to do what you love
Lord is it true
