Story Behind The Song

I was watching a video of Lee Sklar talking about his remorse at not being able to do a Toto tour and he said "You Gotta do do what you gotta do" and I had to stop the video and go write this song.

Song Description

Rules to live by.

Lyrics

Ya Gotta Do What Ya Gotta Do

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do
Ya gotta heal or you'll suffer
Ya gotta love come whatever
Ya gotta laugh ya gotta cry - Ya gotta do what ya gotta do

It's another hot one, not even a breeze is blowin'
The grass is brown and there's the sound
of a mother dove cryin' out for rain
Better get a move on once again

Ya gotta give what ya have to give
Ya gotta grab what ya gotta
Ya gotta beg if that's what it takes
Ya gotta live ya gotta die - Ya gotta do what ya gotta do

Have another cold one, drink and toast the day that's all done
So glad I'm home and not alone, tomorrow is a lotto we could win
Time to get a move on once again-Time to get a move on

Ya gotta say what ya gotta say
Ya gotta hold to what matters
Ya gotta stand up for what is right
Ya gotta look beyond the lie
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do
Ya gotta hide what ya have ta
Ya gotta run if that's what it takes
Ya gotta land after ya fly - Ya gotta laugh ya gotta cry
Ya gotta live Ya gotta die - Ya gotta do what ya gotta do
