chris smither - what i do lyrics

[verse 1]
down in nola where we listen
some of that, some of this
in keys beyond the normal range
everything’s a little strange
but mostly it’s a place to be
got to leave it ‘fore you see
it sticks to you

[verse 2]
i left before it did me in
down+and+dirty don’t begin
to talk about my state of mind
all i wanted was to find
a way to get between the funky and
the play+it+cleaner too

[bridge]
forget about my feelings, i don’t mind
but don’t forget that second line

[verse 3]
can’t you come on out and play?
let’s see what you got today
how you make it sound that way?
i never know just what to say
it’s beans and rice, sticky nights, étouffée
to keep it in the groove
[verse 4]
it just comes out that way, won’t go back in
like gumbo runnin’ down your chin
filé’s just a little thin
but sl!ck as glass, dark as sin
with downbeats on the upside
just to take you for a ride
and make it move

[bridge]
“oh, i see,” they say, “well, no wonder”
it’s a miracle you ain’t six feet under

[verse 5]
fish don’t understand the water
they just do the things they oughta
birds don’t understand the air
they don’t even know it’s there
they don’t have a clue
but just like me they do
the things they do

[outro]
it’s what i do
it’s what i do
it’s what i do
