Songs I have written with Kenny Leverett
This is the "Springsteen" version of my lyric Do What You Can, performed by Kenny Leverett! Well done Kenny! I love it! :)
Do What You Can Copyright July 2014 D Rulliere/K Leverett
drag yourself awake, dreary Monday morning grey wond'rin what it's gonna take to get up and face the day
your mind is washed-out pale and you've never been so down
and you feel about as stale as last night's coffee grounds
and you're wondering if you'll ever find a way to carry on
then a rustling in the corner lets you know you're not alone
and you don't know what he's come for, seems he's been there for a while
standing in the shadows, smiling that slow smile and he kinda seems familiar, like someone you once knew
but his eyes are black as cinders and they ain't giving any clues
you think he's an intruder, or maybe just a freak then he seems to look right through you, as he begins to speak
man, you gotta do what you can
when you're only getting older and you're running out of plans
and that mockingbird on your shoulder seems to have the upper hand
strike while the iron is hot
live it like today is all you've got
you'd better bite that bullet, you better make a stand
cause you just gotta do what you can
you have your 15 minutes to strut upon this stage maybe you'll be a singer, maybe you'll be a sage or you might be a hero, all booted up and spurred or maybe you'll be a Nero, playing fiddle while Rome burns
you might conduct an orchestra or be a one man band
you gotta do what you can
I'm not here to confuse you, doesn't matter who I am
call me Confucius, call me Yin or Yang
well you can call me Yahweh, or you can call me Everyman
you can call me night or day, cause I'm here at your command
but I only came to tell you, in words you understand
man you gotta do what you can
if you can't solve the riddle ...don't let it get you in a spin
if you don't see it this time, it'll come around again
you don't need to be a fighter ....and you don' have to win
you just gotta do what you can
