Name: ALL I GOTTA DO
Duration: P00H02M41S
Description: This is another of many songs written in Spokane Washington around 1991 & 1992. I call these, "The Hoffman Place Sessions”, as I wrote quite a few songs in that time period. I had not touched a drop of alcohol for almost 2 years at that time! Using the "one day at a time" method seemed to be working for me, at least good enough to make me feel like writing a song about it.

lyrics

TITLE: ALL I GOTTA DO

I CAN’T LET GO NO I CAN’T LET GO
IF I DO I’LL SOON BE FALLIN
I’VE WORKED SO HARD AND I’VE LEARNED SO MUCH
BUT STILL I HEAR THE DEVIL HE’S CALLIN
HE KNOWS I USED TO BE EASY AND
HE’S SO USED TO GETTING HIS WAY
YA HAD ME DOWN IN MY YOUNGER YEARS
BUT TODAY’S MY LUCKY DAY, BECAUSE

(CHORUS)

(Background) EWWWWW’S & AHHHH’S

ALL I GOTTA DO IS JUST GET THROUGH TODAY
AND NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW
OR WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY
AND THAT’S JUST WHAT I’M GONNA DO
YA CAN’T WEAR ME DOWN AND YA WON’T CONTROL ME
AND I WON’T BE BOUND
BECAUSE NOW I’VE SEEN THE LIGHT
I WAS LOST BUT NOW I’M FOUND

(END CHORUS)

(GUITAR SOLO-16 MEASURES)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(REPEAT BELOW 9 TIMES-TO FADE)

I WAS LOST BUT NOW I’M FOUND
