What Would You do

Am
Boys and girls, wanna hear a true 
story?
F
Saturday night was at this real wild
 party
C
There was liquor overflowin' the 
cup,
G
About 5 or 6 strippers trying to 
work for a buck.
Am
So I took one girl outside with me,
F
Her name was Londy, she went to 
Junior High with me,
C
I said, "Why you up in there dancing
 for cash?
G
I guess a whole lot's changed since 
I seen you last."

She said...


[Chorus]

Am
What would you do if your son was at
 home
F
Crying all alone on the bedroom 
floor,
C
Cause he's hungry and the only way 
to feed him is to
G
Sleep with a man for a little bit of
 money?
Am
And his daddy's gone in and out of 
lock down,
F
I ain't got a job now, he's just 
smokin' rock now,
C
So for you this is just a good time
G
But for me this is what I call life


[Verse]

Am
Girl, you ain't the only one to have
 a baby,
F
That's no excuse to be living all 
crazy

C
So she stared me right square in the
 eye
G
And said, "Everyday I wake up, 
hoping to die"
Am
She said, "They're gonna know about 
pain
F
'Cause me and my sister ran away so 
our daddy couldn't rape us,
C
Before I was a teenager
G
I done been through more shit you 
can't even relate to"


[Chorus]

Am
What would you do if your son was at
 home
F
Crying all alone on the bedroom 
floor,
C
Cause he's hungry and the only way

I ain't got a job now, he's just 
smokin' rock now,
C
So for you this is just a good time
G
But for me this is what I call life


[Bridge]

Am
(What would you do?) Get up off my 
feet and stop making tired excuses
F
(What would you do?) Get up off my 
feet and stop making tired excuses
C
(What would you do?) Get up off my 
feet and stop making tired excuses
G
(What would you do?) Get up off my 
feet!
