Lyrics: You Are What You Do

Coulda been my grandpa, coulda been my preacher
Coulda been my third grade history teacher
Somebody said it and I'll never forget it

Mighta been my daddy, mighta been my mama
Mighta been Dolly Parton or the Dalai Lama
They were words to the wise and they hit me right between the eyes

If you wanna write a song, better get a guitar
If you wanna win Daytona, better get you a car
If you wanna be Picasso, better get you some paint
Son, you are what you do and if you don't, you ain't

Coulda been a stranger, coulda been a friend
Coulda been a commentator on CNN
Talkin' through my TV directly to me

Mighta been my butcher, mighta been my baker
Mighta been an outta work undertaker down at the SuperX
Who gave me this reality check

If you wanna go to heavan, you better go to church
If you wanna promotion, you better get to work
If you wanns catch the big one, better get you some bait
Yeah, you are what you do and if you don't, then you ain't

If you want an education, you better stay in school
Get you some sunglasses, if you wanna be cool
Talk to Mother Theresa if you wanna be a saint
Yeah, you are what you do and if you don't, then you ain't
Yeah, you are what you do and if you don't, then you ain't
