Lyrics
WHAT A MAN?S GOTTA DO
©2002 words and music by Marvin L. Adcock & John W. Bizzack
Is there anyone listenin? - who hasn?t thought about quittin? - and simply runnin? away?
Anyone here who hasn?t feared - what?s comin? their way the next day?
Is there anyone who - hasn?t felt like a fool - or run up against a wall or two
Sometimes a man?s gotta? do, gotta do,
He?s gotta? do what a man?s gotta? do
CHORUS
Some day?s he?s gotta? reach way down
Pull himself up - ride it all out
Straighten his shoulders - talk a little loud
A man?s gonna pay some dues
A man?s gotta? do - what a man?s gotta? do
For a man in a city - or a farm in Mississippi - the right road?s always uphill
He?ll make some mistakes - ?n make his own breaks - tryin? to do what he feels
There?ll be more than a few - walls to break through - and sometimes he?ll say ?To hell with the rules?
Cause sometimes a man?s gotta? do, gotta? do,
Gotta? do what a man?s gotta? do
BRIDGE
? and what a man?s gotta? do
With no excuse - is work it all through
Understand - take a chance
Cause his circumstance is in his hands
CHORUS (Repeat)
