Lyrics Why I Am - Live at Blossom Music Center, Cuyahoga Falls, OH, 06.01.13 - Dave Matthews Band

Thank you

I grew from monkey into man
Then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
'Til I was slave and master at the same damn time

It is why I am
It's why I am
It's why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb, hello

A king of men it makes no sense
When I bow to the priest while I worship the witch

But it's why I am
The only one to make you smile
Why I am
A snake in your woodpile
Why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb
So will my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry, baby don't cry

It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the win of the world
Only one way out of the world

It's why I am
Unlikely to agree
Why I am
Climbin' out of this monkey tree
Why I am
Still here dancin' with the GrooGrux King

We'll be drinkin' big whiskey while we dance and sing
When my story ends it's gonna end with him
Heaven or Hell, I'm goin' there with the GrooGrux King

Why I am
The apple of your pretty eye
Why I am
The snake in your woodpile
Why I am
Still here dancin' with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb
So will my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry, baby don't cry
