lyrics

This ain’t no old country song,
Them old cowboys never knew when they was wrong,
But I do, I do, I do, I do

I write all the answers to the question Hank’s songs askin’,
Yeah but what did you do?
And if you’ve got a minute I’d be happy to mansplain it,
To you, to you, to you

I’m the man what every woman left him,
A cyclone of feelin’ and song,
I’m knockin’ on your cellar howlin’, “help me!”
This here storms a blowin’ too strong

And this ain’t no bluegrass hymn about the heaven to come,
I tried to fly away but I just fell plum into you,
With a shrug, asked you if you’d come along
And you do, you do, you do

If god only brought me to this city
To sing songs with you and be true,
Mama that sounds like somethin’
I sure would like to do

And this ain’t no folk song ‘bout the place where I come from,
Let’s not talk about it I’d just make you glum,
We’ll pretend we’re chasin’ and not runnin’ from
Oh let’s do, let's do, let's do

I love to see your river rage and rise,
Wash my feet in the harmony of your tide,
A stronger man would jump in and just close his eyes,
But a stone like me just sinks and never swims
