Something I Do For Me

I work overtime 'cause my boss is a jerk
It gets him off my back
I go to see my momma right after work
So she knows where I’m at

Stop by my sister’s and I hug her neck
Tell her just let that guy go
But there’s a few things I do
When I’m all by myself that nobody knows

It’s just something I do for me
Sometimes when I can’t sleep
I get in my car and drive down your street
It’s just something I do for me

I did everything that a man could do
To try and make you smile
I couldn’t keep love from slippin' away
But I slowed it down a while

When you finally told me that you’d had enough
Well, it broke my heart into
So I swallowed my pride, walked out of your life
I did that for you

But there’s something I do for me
Sometimes I really need
Sit in a bar drown some old memories
It’s just something I do for me

I know these things might all seem strange
But somehow they get me by
This smile on my face is hidin’ the trace of teardrops
In my eyes

It’s just something I do for me
Sometimes when no one sees
I talk to the man, I get down on my knees
It’s just something I do for me
