Ron Sexsmith

Never Been Done

When he was just a boy of five

His dad sat him down and said, "Son

Well, the light that I see in your eyes

Says you'll do what's never been done"

Well, the boy, he grew the way they do

Underneath the moon and sun

And a voice beyond his paper route

Said, "Go, do what's never been done"

And he tried too hard

To be the best he could be

But in his father's eyes

It was always disappointing

Though he had once so many dreams

They were all wrapped up in one

This scruffy boy in grubby jeans

Who would do what's never been done

In school, he moved on well enough

To the rat race, he did run

To prove that he had the stuff

For to do what's never been done

And he worked so hard

To be the model son

Till he came to realize

That it just couldn't be done

Till he met a girl with golden hair

With a heart as big as the sun

Said, "If you will take me as I am

Then you'll do what's never been done

If you will take me as I am

Then you'll do what's never been done"
