Vince Gill - They Call Me Doc lyrics

[Verse 1] They call me Doc But I ain't got no degree When **** hits the fan They're calling for me From bluegrass Kentucky With red blood on my hands Nobody calls me hero Except for my friends Yeah, I've woke up from dreams to find out they were real I can tell you how it went but I can't tell you how it feels [Chorus] 'Cause I've seen it all Helped heroes who fall Picked them up 'til they stand tall And I've been in the field And worked down to the bone To make sure all my brothers get back home [Post-Chorus] I've shared the smiles, I've shared the tears Swore they'd make it out of here When they scream, "Please, make it stop" [Verse 2] They call me Doc They all know my name 'Cause it's stitched on my chest And it hangs on this chain You won't read it in the paper Or see it on the TV But I don't need no fame That's fine by me Yeah, when they're broke and bruised I know just what I do My job always starts when their job is through [Chorus] Yeah, I've seen it all Helped heroes who fall Picked them up 'til they stand tall And I've been in the field Worked down to the bone To make sure all my brothers get back home [Post-Chorus] I've shared the smiles, I've shared the tears Swore they'd make it out of here When they scream, "Please, make it stop" They call me Doc They call me Doc [Bridge] You'll never know the heartache of looking a grown man in the eye When he asks you, "Am I gonna make it?" And you gotta lie [Outro] They call me Doc But I ain't got no degree When **** hits the fan They're calling for me From bluegrass Kentucky With red blood on my hands Nobody calls me hero Except my old man Yeah, they call me Doc
