Lyrics Why I Am - Live at Post-Gazette Pavilion, Burgettstown, PA, 06.20.09 - Dave Matthews Band

This song is called, "Why I am"
One, two, three

I grew from monkey into man
Now 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's why I am
It's why I am
Why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux king

Out of my head and into the room
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
Always the one to make you smile
Why I am
A snake in the woodpile
Why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux king

Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool 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 me of the world
Only one way out of the world

It's why I am
I'd like to agree
Why I am
Falling out of my mortgage fee
Why I am
Forever dancing with the GrooGrux king

We'll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing
When my story ends it's gonna end with him
Heaven or hell I'm going there with the GrooGrux king

Why I am
I'm in love with your pretty eyes
Why I am
A staking you wouldn't mind
Why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux king

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

Thank you very much everybody, yes
For coming
