Do What You Do Lyrics by Acoustic Junction

Live 5-4-99

[Verse 1]
Somebody tell me where Gordie went
He's a-way down south just livin' in a tent
Smoke marijuana, he sleep all day
Somebody tell me why Gordie went away
His brothers playin' music in a rock and roll band
Workin' in a basement tryin' to give himself a hand
He makes no money, he has a lot of fun
You never see that boy sittin' in the sun
[Chorus]
Hold on, I wanna watch the river flow
Hold on, I don't know where it goes
How come a man do what he do, do what he do
Do what he do, what he do, what he do
[Verse 2]
Sarah's got a man and he's buildin' a house
Somebody's money gonna be their boss
Build a wooden house, put it on a hill
When they have a child they should call him little Will
Jimmy sings better than the rest of his band
But he still play harp like a back-up man
Stage is getting bigger and Jimmy's still small
When Jimmy sing he sound ten feet tall
[Chorus]
Hold on, I wanna watch the river flow
Hold on, I don't know where it goes
How come a man do what he do, do what he do
Do what he do, what he do, what he do
[Bridge]
Nobody knows when it all comes down
You make your plans and they turn out wrong
I don't mind growin' old, that's just the way things go
Good men just go with their hearts, when it all comes down
When it all comes down, when it all comes down
[Verse 3]
Some get married and some get religion
Every other day they got to make a big decision
You ride trains, get plain, move to California
Call me on the phone, you know I would have warned you
Now I got a friend who knows what it mean
Got a hammer in his hand and he's building a dream
I asked him once how I'd ever get through
He looked me in the eye and said, "Do what you do"
[Chorus]
Hold on, I wanna watch the river flow
Hold on, I don't know where it goes
How come a man do what he do, do what he do
Do what he do, what he do, what he do
[Interlude]
Do what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do
Do what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do
Do what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do
Do what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do, what he do
Do what he do, what he do!
Do what he do, what he do!
Do what he do, what he do!
Do what he do, what he do!
[Chorus]
Hold on, I wanna watch the river flow
Hold on, I don't know where it goes
How come a man do what he do, do what he do
