Born To Do Testo

Well, I headed out
Down a dark and dusty trail
Through the mire and the fog
Into the abyss I set sail
My ship finally came ashore
I was broke and singing the blues
But they said I was doing what I was born to do

'Cause some folks are meant to shine
Like a diamond in the sun And some are meant to burn out
Long before their time has come
Well, 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
I'm dreaming of back home and all the folks we've left behind
As the miles and the years keep on flying

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

As I've climbed the highest mountains
And I've felt the sharpest falls
I've had my moments in the sun
But they've damn near cost me all
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
I'm dreaming of back home and all the folks we've left behind
As the miles and the 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 are right there with me
And they've helped me make it through
They said we were doing what we were born to do
