Only God Knows Why

Why the sun steals the harvest from a farmer's family

Why whiskey can make a good man cheat and lie

Why some women sell their souls for twenty dollars

Under a streetlight

Why babies born without a chance of living

Why some wanna take a life to just get a high

Why there's soldiers coming home wrapped in Old Glory

Only God knows why

But I still sing hallelujah

And hold on to my faith

So many things in this life I don't understand

So why would I try?

When only God knows why

Ooh yeah

I decided to not get inside that Mustang

On that cold rain-soaked September night

Why my best friend's dead and that drunk is still alive

Only God knows why

But I still sing hallelujah

And hold on to my faith

So many things in this life I don't understand

So why would I try?

When only God knows why

Well, I believe there'll come a day

When everything will be explained

So I'll just sing hallelujah

And hold on to my faith

So many things in this life I don't understand

So why would I try?

When only God knows why

Oh, only God knows why
