The Things You'll Do

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
