WHat I really get to do
Music & Lyrics: CHuck Knott
I left some shots unsunk, well more than a few
‘Til she racked ‘em up, knocked me straight like a solid ‘ole pool cue
Even all the bricks in the Great Wall to try and count the ways
Can only hope to sink the 8 Ball if ya’ got four quarters to play
I got sick ‘a writing sad songs ‘bout my whiskey worn out shoes
Must be doin’ somethin’ mad wrong, paintin’ only shades of blue
Didn’t take long to shed her light, and the spectrum colors flew
Like a gong rang to aim my might towards more virtue… more virtue
Well she gave me some lovin’, and then she gave me more
Loved on me so damn much, it sure ‘nuff left me sore
Ain’t nothin’ quite as powerful like a love that’s new
You mean this is what I really get to do? Spend my time with you
You mean this is what I really get to do? Spend my time with you
No more need in makin’ up imagined songs to sing
Damn sure knocked that mattress off the ‘ole boxspring
Steal away with me now, let’s tear off the dusty trail
Across the ‘ole ravine now, on the cross-ties & rusty rails
Well she gave me some lovin’, and then she gave me more
Loved on me so damn much, it sure ‘nuff left me sore
Ain’t nothin’ quite as powerful like a love that’s new
You mean this is what I really get to do? Spend my time with you
You mean this is what I really get to do? Spend my time with you
