What I Do
What I Do Tracks

(Alan Jackson)
Smiles in the mornin’ as warm as sunshine
Kisses when I lay down at night
And two lovin’ arms to console me
I should be scared, it\'s so right
But too much of a good thing is a good thing
Feelings like this can\'t be wrong
And too much of a good thing is a good thing
And we got a good thing going on
You look in my eyes and see my thinkin’
I know when you\'re happy, when you\'re sad
Some would say it\'s too perfect
But I don\'t think what we have is so bad
‘Cause too much of a good thing is a good thing
Feelings like this can\'t be wrong
And too much of a good thing is a good thing
And we\'ve got a good thing going on
We\'ve got a good thing going on

I need some sunshine on my face
To help me dry my eyes
I need a blue sky over head
So I can clear my mind
Maybe a soft breeze on my back
To make me feel at ease
Anything more than what I\'ve got
On this rainy day in June
It\'s a rainy day in June
The sky is gray and I am blue
Tryin’ to make it without you
On this rainy day in June
Yesterday mornin’ I woke up
On the wrong side of the bed
And on the right side laid a note
I knew what it said
Then the rain came, hasn\'t stopped
I don\'t know if it will
But I’ll keep waitin’
With a hopeful heart
On this rainy day in June
Repeat Chorus
The thunder rolls
The lightning flashes
Every thought begins with you
I see your face in every cloud that passes
On this rainy day in June
Repeat Chorus

Well I heard that you\'ve been wonderin’
how I\'m getting along
I guess that you think I can\'t make it wh you gone
Well I don\'t want you to worry,
don\'t loose you any sleep
But a man called long distance this morning
Said they\'re thinkin’ about puttin’ me
On the cover of the USA Today
A story of heartbreak and pain
A picture of the loneliest man they claim
In the USA today
I don\'t sleep in the nighttime, the darkness
reminds me of you
I lost eight pounds since last Tuesday
but I could stand to loose a few
I don\'t believe I\'m too bad,
people say I look fine
The man from the paper seems happy
Says I\'m bigger than the latest crime
Repeat Chorus
So if you\'re concerned and troubled,
think you\'re hurtin’ me
Don\'t you worry cause this little thing called losin’ you
Has made a big man out of me
I\'m on the cover of the USA Today
A story of heartbreak and pain
A picture of the loneliest man they claim
In the USA today

If love was river and I was a drowning man
Would you get in the water
Would lend me a hand
If love was river would sit on the land
If love was a mountain high above this town
Would climb to the top
Would you never look down
If love was a mountain would go around
Love may only knock so many times upon your door
And Heaven only know if it\'ll come back anymore
If love was firefly sittin’ in your hand
Would you laugh when it twinkled
And let it go again
If love was firefly would you understand
If love was a party with everyone you know
Would dance if I asked you
Or would you smile and say no
If love was a party would you even go
Love may only knock so many times upon your door
And Heaven only know if it\'ll come back anymore
If love was a fast train on a one way track
Would turn in your ticket
Would you never look back
If love was a fast train would you even pack

Will I made a miss of my life
Each time I went left I shoulda gone right
And love\'s no exception to this rule
‘Cause I turned around and I lost you
Now I\'m feeling lonesome and blue
Just the way I’d expect to
But there\'s some things that I could use
To help me deal with this abuse
If French fries were fat free
and you still love me
If French fries were fat free and you still loved me
What a wonderful world this would be
If the whiskey really helped me forget your memory
I\'d wear a smile endlessly
If French fries were fat free and you still loved me
You know the more I think about it
the more sense it makes
‘Cause grease and love both cause heartache
So I raise my glass and toast these things
I want the most
Though I’ll probably never see it,
I can\'t help but believe in that
Repeat Chorus
Oh if French fries were fat free
and you still love me

(Alan Jackson)
The kiss was colder than I remember
when we first said hello
I guess the flame\'s now a little lower,
I can feel you lettin’ go
You know the paint dries a little darker
than when you first put it on
I guess your love\'s like some old cheap
magic marker that said forever now it\'s gone
But you don\'t have to paint me a picture
You don\'t have to say a thing at all
You don\'t have to paint me a picture
I can see the writing on the wall
When we first fell, we fell a long way,
summer nights and winter days
Mountain sunrise, ocean sunsets, hand in hand in a haze
Now it\'s cold hot summer evenings, and there\'s clouds on my sunrise
But you don\'t have to smile and say you\'re happy, I can see what\'s in your eyes
Repeat Chorus
I can see the writing on the wall

Starting over again’s a bit like dancing
You just need someone to lead and take it slow
So lay your head on my shoulder
Let me hold you close,
That\'s it, there ya go
There ya go, you\'re doing fine
Take each day like a step, one at a time
Put one foot in front of the other
And the next thing you know
That\'s it, there ya go
Every day is like a new beginning
One door opens while another starts to close
But just slip your arms around me
‘Cause life\'s a dance don\'t ya know
That\'s it, there you go
Repeat Chorus
I know how it feels to have your heart crushed
Like the wings of a butterfly
But you’ve gotta try
So just hold on tight
Put one foot in front of the other
And the next thing you know
You\'re dancing, there ya go
That\'s it, there ya go

The mechanic raised up from under my hood
He shook his head and said, \"This ain\'t good
Your timin\' belt\'s done shrunk one size too small
Those spark plug wires are a little too long
And your main prodsponder\'s nearly gone
Your injector ports are stripped and that ain\'t all”
“Your torque converter\'s runnin\' low on torque
And that water pump\'s nearly down a quart
We caught it all in time so you\'re in luck\"
He said, \"I\'ve got the time and I\'ve got the parts
Just give me the word and I\'m ready to start
I think we can bring her in for eight hundred bucks”
But don\'t be downhearted, I can fix it for you, sonny
It won\'t take too long, it\'ll just take money
Then he said, \"Aren\'t you that songwriter guy\"
I said, \"Yes I am,\" he said, \"So am I\"
And he set down and played me a song by the grease rack
When he finished singin\' he gave me a smile
And I closed my eyes and pondered a while
And he said, \"What do you think
Now don\'t hold nothin\' back\"
Well I gave him my most sorrowful look
And I said, \"This song\'s got a broken hook
I can order you a new one from Nashville but it won\'t be cheap
And I know you\'ve been using a cut-rate thesaurus
\'Cause your adverbs have backed up into your chorus
Now your verse is runnin\' on verbs that are way too weak”
But don\'t be downhearted, I can fix it for you, sonny
It won\'t take too long, it\'ll just take money
And I said, \"Hold on friend now I\'m not through
I hate to be the one to give you this news
But your whole melodic structure\'s done worked itself loose
It\'s got so many dotted eighth notes in it
I\'d keep her under fifty beats per minute
I mean, that\'s just me talkin\', it\'s really up to you”
“And you\'ve got a bad safety problem with
That dominant chord with the augmented fifth
Just see how dangerously high it raises you up
So just go on over and work on my car
I\'ll sit here by the fan and chances are
I can straighten this thing out for eight…nine hundred bucks”
But don\'t be downhearted, I can fix it for you, sonny
It won\'t take too long
You guessed it
It may be a hit
I like it

I just took your picture off the table
And I just took your picture off the wall
I hide from you anywhere I\'m able
But there\'s one place I can\'t hide from you at all
Tennessee, you don\'t make the whiskey
California, you don\'t make the wine
And Mexico, you don\'t make tequila
Strong enough to get her off my mind
Memories seem to know just where to find me
And lately they\'re all that I recall
And everything in this old house reminds me
Of the love I had and how I lost it all
Repeat Chorus
Days go by and I still feel the sorrow
And time don\'t make a difference in the pain
Just sitting here and waiting on tomorrow
Will drive me crazy if I don\'t go insane
Repeat Chorus
Strong enough to get her off my mind
Strong enough to get her off my mind

You left your Bible on the dresser
so I put it in the drawer
\'Cause I can\'t seem to talk to God without yelling anymore
And when I sit at your piano,
I can almost hear those hymns
The keys are just collecting dust but I can\'t close the lid
You left my heart as empty
as a Monday morning church
It used to be so full of faith and now it only hurts
And I can heart the devil whisper,
\"Things are only getting worse\"
You left my heart as empty
as a Monday morning church
The preacher came by Sunday,
said he missed me at the service
He told me Jesus loves me
but I\'m not sure I deserve it
\'Cause the faithful man that you loved
is nowhere to be found
Since they took all that he believed
and laid it in the ground
Repeat Chorus
I still believe in Heaven
and I\'m sure you\'ve made it there
But as for me without your love, girl,
I don\'t have a prayer
Repeat Chorus
You left your Bible on the dresser,
so I put it in the drawer

She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
Burnin\' the honky tonks down
Smoke\'s been rising all over town
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
She caught me runnin\' around
She was dancin\' in the ashes
When they caught her with them matches
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
Well she\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
I tried but I could not put them out
Did the best to save the whiskey
But the flame\'s just too risky
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
She couldn\'t stop that honky tonk sound
It was sizzlin\' like a griddle
When I ran out with my fiddle
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
She\'s down in the jailhouse now
Said she felt no remorse
For breakin\' out that torch
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down
Burnin\' the honky tonks down
Smoke\'s been a rising all over town
She\'s burnin\' the honky tonks down

I\'ve been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk
I\'ve shoveled manure \'til my pride hurt
When you\'re startin\' 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
I stand here tonight with this six string guitar
To be somethin\' 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
The drunks that don\'t listen and the crowds that don\'t care
Been told countless times \"Boy you ain\'t goin\' nowhere\"
To do what I do
So I hope the critics and skeptics alike
All bought a ticket to this show tonight
They\'ll see firsthand 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 they\'re so many people that would give anything
To do what I do
And I thank you, I can do what I do
