johnathan east - why i do the things i do lyrics
monday morning the alarm clock rings, about the break
of dawn
ten minutes i’m out the door, moving right along
well, eight hours of sucking up sure gets mighty old
when i come home, my little boy’s waiting with a
fishing pole
my wife said, “we missed you”
that’s why i do the things i do.
lately, this old truck i drive, it’s been stalling some
and i just can’t afford right now to buy another one
maybe, i’ll break even in this world someday
‘til then there’s mouths to feed and bills to pay
and dreams that won’t come true
that’s why i do the things i do.
(chorus)
that’s why i work and that’s why i pray
that’s why get up every day
that’s the only reason i’m still standing here
that’s why i laugh, that’s why i love
that’s why i thank the lord above
for giving me the things that i hold dear
son, i’m living proof
that’s why i do the things i do.
well, there was a time when i lived dangerously
and i let the devil take control of me
i swore i’d never go back to that life again
well, i can’t help but think sometimes, what might have
been
the h-ll that i went through
that’s why i do the things i do.
(repeat chorus)
heaven knows i’d never change it
still there’s times i can’t believe
that when it comes down to forever
girl, you’re the only thing i need.
(repeat chorus)
monday morning the alarm clock rings about the break of
dawn
ten minutes i’m out the door, moving right along.
