|
Sometimes |
|
I go walking through the long tall grass |
|
Wonder how long hard times will last |
|
For this backward soul on a road that god knows where |
|
As hard as |
|
I try ain't left no track |
|
It's not enough to find my way back |
|
I hit the ground like broken glass and just lay there |
|
Chorus Singing why me, oh why me |
|
And I throw another empty bottle up against the wall |
|
And I say why me, oh why me |
|
But pitty never ever did me any kinda good at all |
|
So I walk on |
|
Verse II And |
|
I wound up on the capital steps |
|
Watching the lobbyists smoking cigarettes |
|
And bury their shoes in the country club blues |
|
And who got who by the short hairs |
|
Standing there in their high dollar suits |
|
Looking down at my tattered old jeans and boots |
|
And this weathered guitar that seems to follow me everywhere |
|
God it follows me everywhere |
|
Chorus Playing why me, oh why me |
|
All I got's another song about how money makes and breaks the law |
|
And I sing why me, oh why me |
|
I'm just a broke troubadore with a bark for the underdog |
|
So I walk on |
|
Verse III |
|
Now I ain't |
|
Jesus, but |
|
I can relate |
|
To a man looking death square in the face |
|
Even he hit his knees with a plea in the garden of gethsemane |
|
To his holy father he raised his eyes |
|
In his darkest hours he cried |
|
Please would you take this cup from me |
|
Chorus Praying why me, oh why me |
|
Knowing all the while he had to carry that cross and hang there |
|
When I say why me, oh me |
|
I know that somewhere up in heaven there's a big old book with my name there |
|
So I walk on, |
|
I rock on |
|
Even when |
|
I'm singing, why me, |
|
I rock on |
|
Even when |
|
I'm singing, why me, |
|
I rock on |
|
Even when |
|
I'm singing, why me |
