james taylor - that's why i'm here lyrics
person to person
and man to man
i’m back in touch
with my long lost friend
listen to reason
and understand
and think of me
from way back when
he said me and melissa
well, we fell out of love
ran out of luck
seems like lightning struck
i’ve been thinkin’ of leavin’
but i can’t raise a buck
james, i’m wondering
could i borrow your truck
i said that’s why i’m here
(that’s why i’m here)
got no better reason
that’s why i’m standing before you
(that’s why i’m here)
that’s why i’m here
john’s gone found dead
he dies high he’s brown bread
later said to have
drowned in his bed
after the laughter
the wave of the dread
it hits us like a ton of lead
it seems “learn not to burn”
means turn on a dime
walk on if you’re walking
even if it’s an uphill climb
try to remember that
working’s no crime
just don’t let ’em take
and waste your time
that’s why i’m here
(that’s why i’m here)
there’ll be no more messes tonight
that’s why i’m here
(that’s why i’m here)
whoa, that’s why i’m here
this is an i.o.u.
i reckon i owe you one now
listen wendy and listen gloria
this’ll be better tomorrow
oh, fortune and fame’s
such a curious game
perfect strangers
can call you by name
and pay good money to hear
“fire and rain”
again and again and again
oh, some are like summer
coming back every year
got your baby, got your blanket
got your bucket of beer
i break into a grin
from ear to ear
and suddenly
it’s perfectly clear
that’s why i’m here
(that’s why i’m here)
singing tonight, tomorrow
and every day
that’s why standin’
(that’s why i’m here)
whoa, that’s why i’m here
this is the part
about kitty and bim
he loved her
and she loved him
wake ’em up, shake ’em up
the middle of the night
you got to tell me
everything’s all right
i said that’s why i’m here
(that’s why i’m here)
you got me walkin’ and
talkin’ like a natural man
that’s why i’m here
(that’s why i’m here)
whoa, that’s why i’m here
that’s right
