《That’s My Job》歌词

[00:00:00] That's My Job - Ameritz Tribute Club (Ameritz翻唱俱乐部)

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

[00:00:19] I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone

[00:00:29] My world revolved around him

[00:00:32] I couldn't lie there anymore

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

[00:00:42] 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

[00:00:59] So may I stay with you

[00:01:05] And he said That's my job that's what I do

[00:01:16] Everything I do is because of you

[00:01:20] To keep you safe with me

[00:01:25] That's my job you see

[00:01:33] Later we barely got along

[00:01:37] 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

[00:01:56] 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] Theres no guarantee in the plans I've made

[00:02:19] And if I should fail

[00:02:22] 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] Everything I do is because of you

[00:02:43] To keep you safe with me

[00:02:48] That's my job you see

[00:02:54] Every person carves his spot

[00:02:58] 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

[00:03:20] Just read the tragic news

[00:03:24] After all my travels

[00:03:27] I settled down within a mile or two

[00:03:34] I make my livin' with words

[00:03:36] And rhymes and all this tragedies

[00:03:43] Should go into my head

[00:03:45] 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] Everything I do is because of you

[00:04:28] To keep you safe with me

[00:04:33] That's my job you see

[00:04:38] Everything I do is because of you

[00:04:42] To keep you safe with me
