Only God Knows Why

I've been sitting here

Trying to find myself

I get behind myself

I need to rewind myself

Looking 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

But 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 'bout 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 the things that 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 getting, I been walking that there line

So I think I'll keep a-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, yeah
