Tonight they're shutting down the borders And they've boarded up the schools Small towns are rollin' up the sidewalks One last paycheck comin' through I know you're feelin' kinda nervous But all a little bit confused Nothin's the same, this ain't a game We gotta make it through As we wave outside the window Hold a loved one, stay inside Moms and babies blowin' kisses Maybe it's savin' someone's life They had a cancer graduation It ain't fair to skype or prom Our kids sit home in isolation TV news is always on When you can't do what you do You do what you can This ain't my fair, it's just a thought I'm wanting to share Down here we've been, but don't break Down here we all understand When you can't do what you do You do what you can The chicken farm from Arkansas Bought workers PPE Not before 500 more Had succumbed to this disease Honest men and honest women Workin' for an honest wage I got a hunger for one fever And we still got bills to pay When you can't do what you do You do what you can This ain't my fair, it's just a thought I'm wanting to share Down here we've been, but don't break Down here we all understand When you can't do what you do You do what you can They built a hospital on East Meadow In Central Park last night Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store clerks Men in the front lines I saw a red cross on the Hudson They turned off the Broadway lights Another ambulance screams by They're by the grace of God Lord, I hate it Although I'll keep my social distance What this world needs is a hug Until we find the vaccination There's no substitute for love So love yourself and love your family Love your neighbor and your friend Anytime we love the stranger They're just a friend, you ain't mad, yeah When you can't do what you do You do what you can This ain't my fair, it's just a thought I'm wanting to share Down here we've been, but don't break Down here we all understand When you can't do what you do You do what you can When you can't do what you do You do what you can When you can't do what you do You do what you can
