Mark Wills - That's My Job (Re-Recorded) paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson That's My Job (Re-Recorded) - Mark Wills



I woke up cryin' 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 lie 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 wanna cry anymore, so may I stay with you?"
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"
Later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he
Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams
The 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've 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?"
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"
Every person carves his spot
And fills the hole with life
And I pray someday I might
Light as bright as he
Woke up early one bright fall day
Read the tragic news
After all my travels, I've settled down, within a mile or two
I make my livin' with words and rhyms, 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'"?
"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"
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me
