The Things You'll Do
On a stage behind chicken wire
At the roughest biker bar in town
Dodgin' chairs and broken beer bottles
But I wouldn't put that guitar down
Down the road, another night, another show
Never knowin' if somebody's showin' up
You live to play another day
The things you'll do to do what you love
Oh, the things you'll do
Like sleepin' in an old church van
Where you're payin' your dues
Playin' for free workin' three jobs so that you can
Well, the fact that I'm alive and I'm singin' this song
Is a miracle from above
Thanks to the man and every fan
The things you'll do to do what you love
Out in the cold in the freezin' snow
I got down on my knee
Sold my six string, bought you a ring and said
Honey, will you marry me please?
Girl, I'll admit it was well worth it
But gettin' rid of that guitar was tough
Thank God you brought it back the next day
The things you'll do to do what you love
Oh, the things you'll do
Like when you woke me up at 4 a.m.
You were seven months pregnant
Cravin' ice cream, a jar of pickles and a can of spam
When I heard what you said
I jumped out of bed and I drove off in my pickup truck
I saw your smile and it made it all worthwhile
The things you'll do to do what you love
Oh, the things you'll do
Like workin' overtime makin' ends meet
Well, you're broke as a joke
But it ain't funny always feelin' flat dead on your feet
But the kids are fed and they're jumpin' on the bed
And you can't keep from crackin' up
You're changin' ties, the Lord provides
The things you'll do to do what you love
Lord, is it true?
Gotta let it prove
The things you'll do to do what you love
At the roughest biker bar in town
Dodgin' chairs and broken beer bottles
But I wouldn't put that guitar down
Down the road, another night, another show
Never knowin' if somebody's showin' up
You live to play another day
The things you'll do to do what you love
Oh, the things you'll do
Like sleepin' in an old church van
Where you're payin' your dues
Playin' for free workin' three jobs so that you can
Well, the fact that I'm alive and I'm singin' this song
Is a miracle from above
Thanks to the man and every fan
The things you'll do to do what you love
Out in the cold in the freezin' snow
I got down on my knee
Sold my six string, bought you a ring and said
Honey, will you marry me please?
Girl, I'll admit it was well worth it
But gettin' rid of that guitar was tough
Thank God you brought it back the next day
The things you'll do to do what you love

Gotta let it prove
The things you'll do to do what you love
