Dinnerbell Road – What We Do lyrics

[Verse]
Daddy raised up, with the morning light
Yesterday's coal dust in his eyes
He'd throw a sandwich in a sack,
Grab an extra can of chew
And head for the mines, cause work is what we do.
Momma always said, we got everything we need
Three squares and roof over our head
Well Daddy made the money, but Momma was the glue
She'd always smile, and say love is what we do.

[Chorus]
We don't sit and worry about, the things that we don't need
Thankful for everything we have, our friends and family
We live we laugh, we cry sometimes and apply the golden rule
Cause where I'm from, we're proud of what we do.

[Verse]
Granddaddy was hard, wise as he was old
Life lessons in the stories that he told
Never cheat, don't steal, don't give the devil his due
Above all else, the right thing is what we do.

[Chorus]
We don't sit and worry about, the things that we don't need
Thankful for everything we have, our friends and family
We live we laugh, we cry sometimes and apply the golden rule
Cause where I'm from, we're proud of what we do.

[Bridge]
One day you'll stand up for the man
And he'll eye you up and down
Tell you he's been watching you, wonderin' when you'd come around
Ask if you did the things you should
Before your time on earth was through
And you can say hell yes, you can say yeah man
Cause that's what I do

[Chorus]
We don't sit and worry about, the things that we don't need
Thankful for everything we have, our friends and family
We live we laugh, we cry sometimes and apply the golden rule
Cause where I'm from, yeah where I'm from, it's what we do.
