Born To Do Lyrics by Whiskey Myers
Well I headed out
down a dark a dusty trail
Through the mire and the fog
Into the abyss I set sail
When my ship finally came ashore
I was broke and singing the blues
But they said I was doing what I was born to do
Some folks are meant to shine
Like a diamond in the sun
some are meant to burn out
Long Before their time has come
Somewhere in the middle
Is where I’ve paid my dues
Doing what they said
I was born to do
Oh Can you hear them engines rumbling through the night
The truth is most of the time we just spend riding
Dreaming of back home and all the folks we’ve left behind
As the miles and years just keep on flying
But I’ve had some good friends with me
And they’ve helped me make it through they said we were doing what we were born to do
Somehow I ended up
In Nashville Tennessee
They said I had lightning in a bottle
And the world at my feet
But what they wanted from me
No I could not stand to lose
But they said I was doing
What I was born to do
I’ve climbed the highest mountains
I’ve felt the sharpest falls
I’ve had my moments in the sun
And they’ve damn near cost me all
But there are some things in this life
That are much worse than the noose
When you’re doing what you were born to do
Oh Can you hear them engines rumbling through the night
The truth is most of the time we just spend riding
Dreaming of back home and all the folks we’ve left behind
As the miles and years just keep on flying
But I’ve had some good friends with me
And they’ve helped me make it through they said we were doing what we were born to do
My best friends were right there with me and they’ve helped me make it through they said we were doing what we were born to do
