Do It Myself

Peace on earth is hard to find

But trying to find it alone ain't right

I seemed to have it figured out but the road we're on just ain't bright

Just a couple of kids, acting grown

But the life we see ain't the one back home

I wonder what life could be like with a book, that could write the chapter for you

It could tell you all the right moves to make

Never hinder your pride, and pave the way

It could give you the chance to win every time

But life has notes that aren't meant to rhyme

I just know that good ain't good enough

Sometimes the best way to succeed is to know how to fall, and get back up

I wouldn't be where I am today, working that job, just over minimum wage

I wouldn't have this ring, and I wouldn't have you

I would've never learned the value of a dime

Never got to put in overtime

Never got the chance to make things right

If I didn't do it myself

You could start out at the top and just skip over to the green grass

Forget all the pain and all the sorrow

You never would've busted your ass

Common sense wouldn't be so common if you had a way of knowing

Every outcome of every situation

That life just keeps on throwing

I wouldn't be where I am today, working that job, just over minimum wage

I wouldn't have this ring, and I wouldn't have you

I would've never learned the value of a dime

Never got to put in overtime

Never got the chance to make things right

If I didn't do it myself

I guess that's just what life's about

Taking that risk, taking that chance

I wouldn't be where I am today, working that job, just over minimum wage

I wouldn't have this ring, and I wouldn't have you

I would've never learned the value of a dime

Never got to put in overtime

Never got the chance to make things right

If I didn't do it myself

Do it myself, whoa

Just a couple of kids all grown up

And the life we see is the one back home
