about

Title track for the album. Making music for you folks is indeed "What I'm Here For"!

lyrics

Tell me ‘bout the world outside my yard
Tell me are there thorns on the roses
Cause I ain’t falling but I’m working so hard
To step away from where everyone knows us

And oh the love I’ve known it ain’t no kind of loving at all
And oh the seeds I’ve thrown mostly burn as they fall

And I ain’t working for money
And I ain’t working for charity
If you find something funny
Don’t come bitchin' to me
For this stage is my calling
As I’m running towards the sun
You’re my addiction, my folly
But I ain’t worried none
That’s what I’m here for
That’s who I am

Daddy run a big rig 'most all his life
When he spoke he always spoke the truth
He says only the poor man’s gotta walk the line
And I hope there’s something better for you

And oh the love I’ve known it ain’t no kind of loving at all
And oh the seeds I’ve thrown mostly burn as they fall

And I ain’t working for money
And I ain’t working for charity
If you find something funny
Don’t come bitching to me
For this stage is my calling
As I’m running towards the sun
You’re my addiction, my folly
But I ain’t worried none
Cause that’s what I’m here for,
That's what I'm here for
That’s who I am
