Only God Knows Why

Artist: Kid Rock
Album: Devil Without A Cause


I've been sittin' here
trying 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 to 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 a crowd.
I guess that's the price you pay
to be some bigshot like I am.
Outstretched hands and one-night stands,
still I can't find love.
When your walls come tumbling down
I will always rebound.
People don't know
about the things I say or do.
They don't understand
about 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 I miss.
Ohhh, 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 givin', just ain't been gettin'.
I've been walkin' that there line.
So I think I'll keep a'walkin'
with my head held high.
I'll keep movin' on if only God knows why.
Only God knows why.
Take me to the river,
won't you take me to the river.
