THEY MADE ME DO IT

FROM THE DAY I WROTE MY FIRST LINE
STRUMMED A CHORD ON THIS GUITAR
I KNEW THE THINGS I HAD TO DO
NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE
I WANTED TO HEAD DOWN THE ROAD
MAKE MY NAME LIKE MANY BEFORE
CAUSE THEY WERE MY INSPIRATION
THAT I FOUND HARD TO IGNORE

CAUSE

YER KNOW
THEY MADE ME DO IT
WHEN THEY ALL SHOWED ME WHAT THEY GOT
YEH, YER KNOW
THEY MADE ME DO IT
PUT MY NAME ON THAT SPOT
YEH, YER KNOW
THEY MADE ME DO IT

I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT I DON'T CARE
HOW PEOPLE WANT TO LOOK AT ME
I'VE LEARNED IT'S BETTER TO IGNORE
IT AIN'T MY PROBLEM WHAT THEY SEE
NOW AS I'VE TRAVELLED THROUGH THE YEARS
ALL OF THOSE FOOLS HAVE COME AND GONE
BUT ALL THOSE TIMES THEY RIDICULED
GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON

NOW

YER KNOW
THEY MADE ME DO IT
WHEN THEY SAID SHOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT
YEH, YER KNOW
THEY MADE ME DO IT
PUT MY NAME ON THAT SPOT
YEH, YER KNOW
THEY MADE ME DO IT

(SOLO)

OF THE PEOPLE I'VE MET IN LIFE
NOT MANY HAVE GAINED MY RESPECT
BUT THERE HAS BEEN A SELECT FEW
THAT I'D SAY HAVE HAD AN EFFECT
MY FATHER HAD THE BEST ADVICE
NOW I LIVE BY EVERY WORD
NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS
WAS THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD

YEH

YER KNOW
HE MADE ME DO IT
SAID SHOW THE WORLD WHAT I GOT
YEH, YER KNOW
HE MADE ME DO IT
PUT MY NAME ON THAT SPOT
YEH, YER KNOW
HE MADE ME DO IT

(REPEAT 2ND CHORUS)

YEH, YER KNOW
THEY MADE ME DO IT
