What I Should Do - Timothy B. Schmit

When I am not doing what I should do

I get crazy, I feel blue

I get distracted and then I find

I can barely keep a hold of my mind

Don’t you know I’ve got to shoot from the heart

Or my world might fall apart

Happiness is not a guarantee

I need to find what works for me

I came upon a friend of mine

Just the other day

I told him I can’t seem to compromise

And I think I’ve lost my way… He said

«Don't be mad, don’t be confused

Everybody needs to find a muse»

It’s such a mystery, but true

'Cuz when I am not doing what I should do

I get crazy, I feel blue

I get distracted and then I find

I can barely keep a hold of my mind

Don’t you know you’ve got to shoot from the heart

Or your world might fall apart

Happiness is not an absolute

You need to find what works for you

I don’t want to hang around

Wasting precious time

I need to get myself up off the ground

And leave my past behind

Time to stand and shout out loud

So you can hear my voice above the clouds

There’s no better time than now

I’ve been around the world and then some

Searching for my peace of mind

But I don’t need to look any longer

'Cuz it’s all right here inside

But when I am not doing what I should do

I get crazy, I feel blue

I get distracted and then I find

I can barely keep a hold of my mind

Don’t you know you’ve got to shoot from the heart

Or your world might fall apart

Happiness is not an absolute

You need to find what works for you

When I am not doing what I should do

I get crazy, I feel blue

I get distracted and then I find

I can barely keep a hold of my mind

Don’t you know I’ve got to shoot from the heart

Or your world might fall apart

Happiness is not an absolute

You need to work to find the truth

When I am not doing what I should do…
