lyrics

Can't Help But Wonder Why

back when my daddy told me
that my mama had died
was a long time ago, i was just a little boy
don't remember if i cried
well anyway, life goes on
and the years they roll on by
some leave this world before their time
while others stick around
can't help but wonder why

wonder why, can't help but wonder why

i was talking to a lady the other day
she's raising three kids on her own
their daddy had run away
she said he used to be such a wonderful guy
some people, well, they just change
can't help but wonder why

wonder why, can't help but wonder why

ah but honey, don't waste your time a-wondering
better to go plant a tree
or maybe go out and buy us a bottle of wine
we'll drink it down, just you and me

i wasn't sure if i'd still be here
this far past my prime
now i ain't got a whole lot to show
besides a few thousand rhymes
now you see that hawk flying above
sailing so free, up on high
if my soul has never soared like that
can't help but wonder why

wonder why, can't help but wonder why
wonder why, can't help but wonder why
gotta wonder why
gotta wonder why
