Lyrics:
I woke up cryin' late at night when I was very young I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore So I made my way down the mirrored hall and tapped upon his door. And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid! How will I go on with you gone that way? Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you? " He said, "That's my job, that's what I do Everything I do is because of you, to keep you safe with me That's my job, you see. " Later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams we each held for me He wanted knowledge and learning, I wanted to fly out west Said, "I could make it out there, if I just had the fare I got half, will you loan me the rest? " And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid There's no guarentee in the plans I've made And if I should fail who will pay my way back home? " And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do Ev'rything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me That's my job, you see. " Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with life And I pray someday I might light as bright as he. Woke up early one bright fall day to read the tragic news After all my travels, I settled down within a mile or two I make my livin' with words and rhymes and all the tragedy Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry. But I say, "Daddy I'm so afraid How will I go on with you gone this way How can I come up with a song to say, "I love you." "That's my job, that's what I do Ev'rything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me That's my job, you see. " "Ev'rything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me..."
