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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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