Only God Knows Why

I've been sittin' here

Tryin' to find myself

I get behind myself

I need to rewind myself

Lookin' for the payback

Listen for the playback

They say that every man bleeds, just like me

And I feel like number one

Yet, I'm last in line

I watch my youngest son

And it helps to pass the time

I take too many pills, it helps to ease the pain

I made a couple dollar bills, still I feel the same

Everybody knows my name

They say it way out loud

A lot of folks fuck with me

It's hard to hang out in crowds

I guess that's the price you pay

To be some big shot like I am

Outstretched hands and one-night stands

Still I can't find love

And when your walls come tumbling down

I will always be around



And when your walls come tumbling down

I will always be around



People don't know about the things I say and do

They don't understand 'bout the shit that I've been through

It's been so long since I've been home

I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long

Maybe I forgot all things I miss

Oh, somehow I know there's more to life than this

I said it too many times

And I still stand firm

You get what you put in

And people get what they deserve

Still I ain't seen mine

No, I ain't seen mine

I've been giving just ain't been gettin'

I've been walking that there line

So I think I'll keep on walking

With my head held high

I'll keep moving on and only God knows why

Only God, only God

Only God knows why

Only God knows why, why, why

Only God knows why

Take me to the river

Hey, won't you take me to the river, hey, hey, hey
