Story Behind The Song
I had come to the end of a bad stretch of times & had to ask God if I needed to hold on to something, or let it go to follow his path. I am not preachy or religious, but this is a song of faith.

Lyrics
It ain?t somethin? that I usually do
But I?m missin you
My tongue?s a prophet that my heart didn?t choose
To deliver the news
In rivers of sadness
Oceans of madness
I?m dinkin? the blues
It ain?t somethin? that I usually do
I?m gettin? used to you
If you want me to
It ain?t somethin? that I usually do
But I?m talkin? to you
My tongue?s a prophet that my heart didn?t choose
To pull us through
Children & gardens
Trees in the yard
I?m drinkin? the blues
It ain?t somethin? that I usually do
I?m gettin? close to you
Tell me what to do
Bridge in ¾ Time
It ain?t somethin? that I usually do
But I?m livin? in you
My tongue?s a prophet that my head didn?t choose
To deliver you views
Livin in peace
Is such a release
Forget your blues
It ain?t nothin? that we all couldn?t do
Just to be with you
Tell us what to do
