John Schneider - That's My Job Lyrics




Vs 1
I woke up crying late at night - When I was very young.
I had dreamed my father - Had passed away and gone.
My world revolved around him - I couldn't lay there anymore.
So I made my way down the mirrored hall - And tapped upon his door.
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid - How will I go on with you gone that
Way?
Don't want to cry anymore - So may I stay with you?"
Cho
And he said "That's my job, - That's what I do.
Everything I do is because of you, - To keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see."
Vs 2
Later we barely got along - This teenage boy and he.
Most of the fights it seems - Were over different dreams, - We each
Held for me.
He wanted knowledge and learning. - I wanted to fly out west.
Said, "I could make it out there - If I just had the fare. -
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid, - There's no guarantee in the plans
I've made and if I should fail, - Who will pay my way back home?"
Chorus Repeat
Bridge
Every person carves his spot - And fills the hole with light.
And I pray someday I might - Light as bright as he.
Vs 3
Woke up early one bright fall day - To spread the tragic news.
After all my travel, I settled down - Within a mile or two.
I make my living with words and rhyme - And all this tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead - As bits of poetry.
But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid, - How will I go on with you gone this
Way?
How can I come up with a song to say - I love you?"
Chorus
