Текст песни Why Things Happen - Charley Pride , Darius Rucker , Jimmie Allen

You'll never know when your last breath's
Gonna fade like a July sunset
Or how a tragedy like gravity holds you still
While the world keeps spinnin'

It's hard not to question circumstances
That leave you with nothin' to say
Is there some kind of message, some kind of lesson?
Damn, life's hard to explain

Oh God, tell me why things happen
Things happen like they do
Leave you thinking 'bout how time leaves you
It gets you all confused
In the blink of a moment, gone 'fore you know it
Hits you right out of the blue
Wonderin' why things happen
Things happen like they do, yeah

How a child that's just been named
Can then be pulled from the arms of a mother
Or a cross on the side of a two-lane road
Holds the memory of somebody's brother
You try not to question God and his judgement
But damn it, I don't understand

Somebody tell me why things happen
Things happen like they do
Leaves you thinking 'bout how time leaves you
It gets you all confused
In the blink of a moment, gone 'fore you know it
Hits you right out of the blue
You got me wonderin' why things happen
Things happen like they do, oh

Your heart keeps on beatin'
Through all of those feelings
That you thought you'd never get through
There must be a reason our eyes are not seein'
Everything we want them to
So tell me why things happen, yeah, yeah, yeah

So tell me why things happen
Things happen like they do (like they do)
Leaves you thinking 'bout how time leaves you (leaves you thinking)
It gets you all confused (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In the blink of a moment, gone 'fore you know it (like nothin')
Hits you right out of the blue (hits you right out of the blue)
Wonderin' why things happen
Things happen like they do (things happen, things happen)

Oh, yeah
Do, yeah
Yeah
