Jimmy Buffett - Why the Things We Do

Album:

Why the Things We Do
by Jimmy Buffett, Jay Oliver, Roger Guth
1989
In an old house down by the beach
Lives an old man who's just out of reach
Oh oh, he's got nothing to lose
Some say he's a crazy old man
A refugee from a rock and roll band
Oh oh, he's still playing the blues

In the morning when you rise
Aren't you glad to be alive
Oh oh, put on your barefoot shoes
When you dance beneath the moon rainbow
Can't you feel the afterglow
Oh oh, why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do

In the driftwood house you learn how to dream
Truth is stranger than fishing it seems
Oh oh, there's no Earthly rules
And the people come just to hear him say
Life's too short to live your way
Oh oh, who's really fooling who
Invisible means are the key to support
Makes you king in your own court
Oh oh, what have you got to lose
Push the sadness from your heart
There's no living after dark

Oh oh,
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we...
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do

In the morning when you rise
Aren't you glad to be alive
Oh oh, put on your barefoot shoes
When you dance beneath the moon rainbow
Can't you feel the afterglow
Oh oh, that's why the things we do
That's why the things we do
That's why the things we do
That's why the things we do
