《That’s My Job》歌词

[00:00:00] That's My Job (In the Style of Conway Twitty) (Instrumental Only) - ProSource Karaoke (专业卡拉ok)

[00:00:10] I woke up cryin late at night when I was very young,

[00:00:20] I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone,

[00:00:29] My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore,

[00:00:37] So I made my way down the mirrored

[00:00:42] hall and tapped upon his door.

[00:00:46] And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid!

[00:00:52] How will I go on with you gone that way?

[00:00:56] Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"

[00:01:05] He said, "That's my job, that's what I do,

[00:01:16] Everything I do is because of you, to keep you safe with me,

[00:01:26] That's my job, you see."

[00:01:33] Later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he,

[00:01:41] Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams

[00:01:47] we each held for me,

[00:01:52] He wanted knowledge and learning, I wanted to fly out west,

[00:02:00] Said, "I could make it out there, if I just had the fare,

[00:02:05] I got half, will you loan me the rest?"

[00:02:09] And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid,

[00:02:15] There's no guarentee in the plans I've made,

[00:02:20] And if I should fail who will pay my way back home?"

[00:02:28] And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do,

[00:02:39] Ev'rything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me,

[00:02:49] That's my job, you see."

[00:02:54] Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with life,

[00:03:02] And I pray someday I might light as bright as he.

[00:03:15] Woke up early one bright fall day to read the tragic news,

[00:03:24] After all my travels, I settled down within a mile or two,

[00:03:34] I make my livin' with words and rhymes and all the tragedy,

[00:03:43] Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry.

[00:03:51] But I say, "Daddy I'm so afraid,

[00:03:57] How will I go on with you gone this way,

[00:04:02] How can I come up with a song to say, "I love you."

[00:04:14] "That's my job, that's what I do,

[00:04:23] Ev'rything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me,

[00:04:32] That's my job, you see."

[00:04:38] "Ev'rything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me..."
