Most of the songs that I release are although new recordings are songs that I wrote many years ago and have never been released. I love those songs and put a lot of energy into recording and releasing. I don’t focus on writing new songs as I have literally hundreds of songs yet to be released, but last weekend a new song came to me out of a dream and I had to record it, I was surprised that my wife even liked it, she can be very fickle but she loved it much so she wanted me to get it released ASAP. I had a problem with the title, so many songs called Vision, so I extended it to Something I Got To Do. Just to make it easier to find in a search. The songs lyrics reflect where I am today, on a one way track, past is past and I move forward, but on my journey, there is one thing that I could never trade, which is my love for my wife. A vision of what I want maybe a dream, but it is what has brought me down this road.
Here I’m all alone on this one way track,
and there’s one thing I know there’s no going back
I could rest a while but I’ve got to see this through
yeah I could rest a while, but this is something I got to do.
In my journey I have made mistakes,
lots of wrong turns, plans gone up in flames
and I sometimes think of what I can’t undo
For I’m a foolish man who let himself be fooled.
We have a vision of what they want
and sometimes we make it true
I have a vision of what I want
but I won’t trade it in for you
Everyday, I get out out bed
like a punch drunk boxer, I try to clear my head
until they ring that bell, I’ve got to stay on my feet
until they ring that bell, they just ain’t got me beat.
Life pulls no punches and we take the blows
we hit the canvas everybody knows
until they count you out, you got to get on your feet
until they count you out, they just ain’t got you beat.
I’m feeling tired, I’ve been on this road
my eyes are blury, yet I’ve far to go
I could rest a while but I’ve got to see this through
yeah I could rest a while, but this is something I got to do.
