Lyrics What I Do Best (Commentary) - Vince Gill

You know, I was a Haggard freak, and I loved country music and
Um, I-I think I always felt like I, that's where I might be my best
You know, if-if you want take all the things that I do, so what do you do best?
You sing a country song probably better many thing and, and so
I knew that I would wind up there someday, somehow

Umm, I don't know how that, how that happened, but, you know, it did
And then, and then I struggled for many years, you know
And thinking, that it would be easy, but it wasn't
And couldn't-couldn't find that hit, couldn't deliver that hit and
And I think, you know
If I had, if a kid today had as many failings as I did
He wouldn't get another chance

You know, I got to fail for seven years
Before I hit a, hit a curve ball, you know, hanging curve ball and
It changed everything, you know, it's just not the way of today
You're not gonna get that many chances
