Dave Matthews Band Why I Am
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
'til I was a slave and master at the same
damn time
It's why I am It's why I am
Why I am still here dancing with
the Groogrux King
Out of my head and
into the room
hello
A king of men it makes
no sense
when I bow to the priest
while I worship the witch
It's why I am always the
one to make you smile
It's why I am still 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 can remember the
fool that I am
Don't cry baby
don't cry
It's the lose and the win of the
world
wrong and right us and them of
the world
then you and the me of the world
only one way out of the world
It's why I am unlikely to agree
It's why I am climbing out of my
monkey tree
why I am still here dancing
with the Groogrux King
we'll be drinking big
whiskey while we dance
and sing
and when my story ends
it's gonna end with him
heaven or hell i'm going
there with the Groogrux
King
It's why I am the apple of
your pretty eye
It's why I am 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 can remember the fool
that I am
Don't cry baby don't cry
