We Do What We Can Lyrics - Tuesday Night Music Club - Sheryl Crow

Downstairs they're playing Kenton 

The house set to swing 

I lay in my bed 

And listen to everything 

Cause Leo's in rare form tonight 

His trombone sings so sweet 

This is the room where 

They all come to meet 

He said 

I do what I can 

I live for the moment 

And that's who I am 

Yeah that's who I am

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And isn't it good 

If we could freeze moments in time 

We all would 

But I do what I can 

Downstairs he's playing Kenton 

The Magnavox sighs 

But oh how the music has changed 

In all of our lives 

He says "nobody listens 

To modern jazz" 

And I'll never have what these guys have 

Chorus: 

He says 

I do what I can 

I work for a living 

That's who I am 

Yeah that's who I am 

It's good to be alive 

But everything's different since Leo died 

Since Leo died 

Is this the end of the modern world 

What could it mean for a young girl 

Who sees the pain in his face 

He does what he can 

The procession on the TV screen 

What could it possibly mean for a man 

Who's come this far just to turn around 

He does what he can 

Could there still be life in Kenton's swing 

With the Kennedys gone and everything 

Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors 

Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers 

Riots down the street and discontented mothers 

We do what we can 

Downstairs it's quiet 

Less alive somehow 

Somehow he was everything I am now 

He says 

I do what I can 

I work for a living 

That's who I am 

Yeah that's who I am 

It's good to be alive 

These are the choices 

We make to survive 

We do what we can
