What We Love To Do Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Going from town to town and knocking door to door 

Writin' songs on napkins to keep from gettin' bored 

Starving for some work and a little bite to eat 

Countin' last night's money and wonderin' where we'd sleep 

Wonderin' what she's doin' since the last time that I called 

Cause she's alone in Virginia and I'm in Arkansas 

Lord knows I love my music and she knows I love her too 

She's a better man than I am to let me do the things I do 

We like to pick and sing and it's not a nine to five 

It may not be a real job but it keeps our dream alive 

We've sung for more than many and sometimes quite a few 

Either way it doesn't matter it's what we love to do 

[ fiddle ] 

Each night is somethin' different cause we're learning more each day 

We know now how the cards are dealt and we know now how to play 

After weeks the days seem longer but at home not long at all 

The sun shines warm at our house but out here it feels like fall 

[ fiddle ] 

Backstage we say a small prayer then do what we do best 

The band begins our music and we'll do all the rest 

The ride home will be the long one as soon as the show is through 

I know she'll be up waiting it's what we love to do 

We like to pick and sing... 

We like to pick and sing...
