DAVE MATTHEWS BAND LYRICS - Why I Am

"Why I Am"



I grew from monkey into man

then I crushed fifteen 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



It's why I am

why I am

why I am

Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King



Out of my head and into the womb. Hello

A king of men it makes no sense

When I bow to the priest while I worship the witch



But it's why I am

always the one to make you smile

Why I am

still snake in the woodpile

It's Why I am

still here dancing with the GrooGrux King



Out of my head and into the womb

So will my ghost takes me from you

You can remember the fool that I am

Dont cry baby don't cry

The lose and the win of the world

Wrong and right, us and them of the world

It's the you and the me of the world

Only one way out of the world



Its the lose and the win of the world

Wrong and right, us and them of the world

It's the you and the me of the world

Only one way out of the world



[Tim Reynolds solo]



Its why I am

unlikely to agree

Why I am

climbin out of my monkey tree

Why I am

still here dancin with the GrooGrux King

we'll be drinkin Big Whiskey while we dance and sing

and when my story ends its gonna end with him

Heaven or Hell I'm goin there with the GrooGrux King

Its Why I am

the apple of your pretty eye

Why I am

a snake in the woodpile

Why I am

still here dancin with the GrooGrux King



out of my head an into the womb

so will my ghost takes me from you

you can remember the fool that I am

Dont cry baby don't cry
