why i am

Dave Matthews Band

I grew from monkey into man
Then I crushed 15 Million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master
At the same damn time

But itÂ?s Why I Am
But itÂ?s Why I Am
ThatÂ?s WhyÂ?.IÂ?Â?Am

Still here dancing with the Groogrux King
Out of my head
And said, Â?HelloÂ?

The King of man, it makes no sense
Oh and I bow to the priest, while I worship the witch

ThatÂ?s Why I Am
Young one, makes me smile
ThatÂ?s Why I Am
a snake in the woodpile
Why I Am

Lost in here dancing with the Groogrux King

Out of my head, and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You canÂ?t remember the fool that I am
DonÂ?t cry baby, donÂ?t cry

ItÂ?s the youth and the win of the world
Wrong and Right, just remember the world
ItÂ?s the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world
ItÂ?s the youth and the win of the world
Wrong and Right, just remember the world
ItÂ?s the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

ThatÂ?s Why I Am
IÂ?m unlikely to agree
ThatÂ?s Why I Am
IÂ?m out of my monkey tree

Still here dancing with the Groogrux King
Will be drinking big whiskey, while we dance and sing
Where my story ends, is when i get with him
Heaven or hell Â? IÂ?m going there with the Groogrux King

ThatÂ?s Why I Am

The color of your pretty eyes
a snake in the woodpile
Why I Am
Still here dancing with the Groogrux King

Out of my head, and into the room
so when my ghost takes me from you
You canÂ?t remember the fool I am
DonÂ?t cry baby, donÂ?t cry.
