Every Wonder Why (Album Version)

If you ever see me walking down the side of the road

Would you ever stop and wonder why

Would you think it's lost that I paid the cost

Stop and give a poor boy a ride

And forget my past

'Cause if I ever get home, I'm never gonna worry 'bout the things that I could've done

'Cause I've done a lot of things I could've done better

But now it don't matter none

I've raised my glass

'Cause I fell in love and then lost touch

I dropped it and broke her heart

I drove off a cliff

And I barely missed

Walkin' with her in the park

Just a selfish boy

But I have not forgot that the food in the pot ain't cookin' for a boy like me

I been fightin' all night with the dogs in the alley, looking for a bone to eat

Starving to death

Everybody's troubled with your hustle and your bustle

The payment on the house is late

If I ever have a problem like that

I guess I'll be in pretty good shape

You can kiss my ass goodbye

When I feel the wind blow

See a ghost in the road

And headlights are a beautiful sight

And out in the desert

I can sit under them heavens

And watch the sun keep settin' for miles

And here comes another song

Then I take a pen and a little piece of paper

I scribble on down the lines

And what you're hearing now

Is something I found

Hidin' way down inside

The cellar of my heart

And I hope everybody had a real good time

I hope I didn't bring you down

These ain't sad songs

So don't take 'em wrong

I haven't been home in a while

Well, I'll see you all around
