Never Been Done

Ron Sexsmith


When he was just a boy of five 
His dad sat him down and said, son, 
The light that I see in your eyes 
Says you'll do what's never been done." 

Well the boy, he grew the way they do 
Underneath the moon and sun 
And a voice beyond his paper route 
Said go do what's never been done And he tried so hard 
To be the best he could be 
But in his father's eyes 
Was always disappointed Though once he had so many dreams 
They were all wrapped up in one This scruffy boy in grubby jeans Who would do what's never been done 

In school he moved on well enough 
To the rat race he did run 
To prove that he had the stuff 
For to do what's never been done And he worked so hard 
To be the model son 
Till he came to realize 
That it just couldn't be done Till he met a girl with golden hair 
And a heart as big as the sun 
Said if you will take me as I am 
Then you'll do what's never been done 
If you will take me as I am 
Then you'll do what's never been done
