Story Behind The Song

I have an affection for certain kinds of word-play, and this is an example of the insight that may follow when two verbs trade places in a statement. And it's even fun to listen to.

Song Description

Reflection on my basis for confidence in the choices I make and the occupations I pursue.

Lyrics

Doinâ?? What I Know
Words and music by Morley Tuttle

(1)
Em C B7 Em
Hold out for the winter, make some plans for spring
Em G B7 Em
Look out for a woman who is into this whole thing
Em C B7 Em
I needed time to fall apart, thought I needed time to grow
Em G B7 Em
I donâ??t know what Iâ??m doinâ?? Iâ??m just doinâ?? what I know

(2)
For the time to destination it was just as cheap to fly
Iâ??m nothing to the target and Iâ??m nothing to the sky
I had no need to go there, but I might as well see the show
I donâ??t know what Iâ??m doinâ?? Iâ??m just doinâ?? what I know

(Br)
C G
I mustâ??ve picked the wrong numbers
D
And I walked an extra mile
C G
And I canâ??t remember where I left my keys
C B7
My fingers stumbled on the dial

(3)
Letâ??s put our heads together, and Iâ??ll stand to take the blame
Letâ??s fuel the fire to warm us, though itâ??s sometimes hard to tame
And Iâ??ll stake my claim on Green Street, â??till I end on derelict row
I donâ??t know what Iâ??m doinâ?? Iâ??m just doinâ?? what I know
