Doing What I Do

It's just another slow night in a small town but I'm only passing through Another tall glass another slice of lime and I keep doing what I do It's just a few claps and a few tips but I chill and play the blues Cause man it's such a long night and it's the easiest thing I can do I lie to myself but man it's alright whatever gets you through Cause it's your story forget the glory keep doing what you do Another sunrise oh my soul dies but the skies are perfect blue Another suckers bet but I'm only passing through I tell myself that by tomorrow I'll purge my soul of sorrow How my gig was tried and true Sell yourself on the bigger picture Perfect mixture doing what I do Where the most righteous hang with the wicked In some sort of cosmic stew Where you hear the hum of the neon And the bathrooms smell like booze Where the devil is in the details Where you can't ever play by the rules Where the jukebox screams the favorites As you do what you do
