1
Sometimes I go walking through the long tall grass
2
Wonder how long hard times will last
3
For this backward soul on a road that god knows where
4
As hard as I try ain't left no track
5
It's not enough to find my way back
6
I hit the ground like broken glass and just lay there
7
Singing why me, oh why me
8
And I throw another empty bottle up against the wall
9
And I say why me, oh why me
10
But pitty never ever did me any kinda good at all
11
So I walk on
12
And I wound up on the capital steps
13
Watching the lobbyists smoking cigarettes
14
And bury their shoes in the country club blues
15
And who got who by the short hairs
16
Standing there in their high dollar suits
17
Looking down at my tattered old jeans and boots
18
And this weathered guitar that seems to follow me everywhere
19
God it follows me everywhere
20
Playing why me, oh why me
21
All I got's another song about how money makes and breaks the law
22
And I sing why me, oh why me
23
I'm just a broke troubadour with a bark for the underdog
24
So I walk on
25
Now I ain't Jesus, but I can relate
26
To a man looking death square in the face
27
Even he hit his knees with a plea in the garden of Gethsemane
28
To his holy father he raised his eyes
29
In his darkest hours he cried
30
Please would you take this cup from me
31
Praying why me, oh why me
32
Knowing all the while he had to carry that cross and hang there
33
When I say why me, oh me
34
I know that somewhere up in heaven there's a big old book with my name there
35
So I walk on, I rock on
36
Even when I'm singing, why me, I rock on
37
Even when I'm singing, why me, I rock on
38
Even when I'm singing, why me
