Person to person and man to man, I'm back in touch with my long lost friend.
|
Listen to reason and understand and think of me from way back when.
|
He said, me and Melissa, well we fell out of love. We ran out of luck seems like lightning struck.
|
I've been thinking of leaving but I can't raise a buck,
|
James, I'm wondering could I borrow your truck?
|
|
I said that's why I'm here. Got no other reason,
|
that's why I'm standing before you, that's why I'm here.
|
|
John's gone, found dead, he dies high, he's brown bread. Later said to have drowned in his bed.
|
After the laughter, the wave of the dread, it hits us like a ton of lead.
|
It seems "learn not to burn" means to turn on a dime
|
and walk on if you're walking even if it's an uphill climb.
|
And try to remember that working's no crime, just don't let 'em take and waste your time.
|
That's why I'm here.
|
|
This is an IOU, I reckon I owe you one now.
|
Listen Wendy and listen Gloria, this'll be better tomorrow.
|
|
Fortune and fame's such a curious game. Perfect strangers can call you by name.
|
Pay good money to hear fire and rain again and again and again.
|
Some are like summer coming back every year,
|
got your baby got your blanket got your bucket of beer.
|
I break into a grin from ear to ear and suddenly it's perfectly clear.
|
That's why I'm here.
|
|
This is the part about Kitty and Jim, he loved her and she loved him.
|
Wake 'em up shake 'em up the middle of the night, got to tell me everything's alright.
|
He said that's why I'm here. That's right.

That's Why I'm Here
