Dave Sheriff - Doing What I Love

Now I never have to work
Cos I'm doing what I love
Thanks to the gift
From the lord up above
Doing what I love
And loving what I do
Never had to work
All my whole life through
My daddy had to work hard every day
To get enough money for the bills to pay
Digging in a ditch mud up to his knees
Putting food on the table for the family

Now I never had to work
Cos I'm doing what I love
Thanks to the gift
From the lord up above
Doing what I love
And loving what I do
Never had to work
All my whole life through

When I left school used to lend a hand
Chopping down the trees and working on the land
Up every morning at the break of day
Whatever the weather - come what may

Now I never had to work
Cos I'm doing what I love
Thanks to the gift
From the lord up above
Doing what I love
And loving what I do
Never had to work
All my whole life through That's how it was til my daddy passed away
Then I thought to myself
There must be a better way
Chasing that neon rainbow's more my style
I love doing what makes me happy
And making people smile

Now I never have to work
Cos I'm doing what I love
Thanks to the gift
From the lord up above
Doing what I love
And loving what I do
Never have to work
All my whole life through

Now I travel this land just playing my songs
there's no better feeling when you all singalong
Thats what I do just to earn my pay
But it ain't like work when you feel this way

Now I never had to work
Cos I'm doing what I love
Thanks to the gift
From the lord up above
Doing what I love
And loving what I do
Never had a job
All my whole life through

Now I never have to work
Cos I'm doing what I love
Thanks to the gift
From the lord up above
Doing what I love
And loving what I do
Never had a job
All my whole life through
