Song Description

The reality of being a songwriter trying to make it in Nashville.

Lyrics

D walk down on A string
Drove all night down to Nashville, came in on Hwy. 24.
When I left her it was snowing, halfway up our front door.

Em/A
As the cold wind blew she held me close and asked me why.
With a warm kiss on her cheek, I said I need to give it one more try.

This is what I do, I do it for me, I do it for you (D walk down)
It's what I am, inside of me. (D A Em)
When I feel blue, I write down words and sing 'em too. (D A Em A)
This is what I do.

Ever since I can remember, my head had songs to be sung.
And so many burning feelings, they'd melt the words right on my tongue.
So every day I write a new way, to say I love you.
Every night I pray my songs will get us through.

This is what I do, I do it for me, I do it for you
It's what I am, inside of me.
When I feel blue, I write down words and sing 'em too.
This is what I do.


bridge...F# G D A.....F# G Asus...A
So Honey give me one more day to write that one great song.
And then you and I can make our whole world sing along.


This is what I'll do,
I'll do it for me, I'll do it for you.
It's what I am, inside of me.
I won't be blue, and I will sing that song for you.

This is what I do, this is what I do.
