Why I Am

Dave Matthews Band

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 
Till I was slave and master at the same damn time 

It's why I am 
why I am 
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 
always the one to make you smile 
Why I am 
still snake in the woodpile 
It's 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 
Dont cry baby don't cry 
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 

Its 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 

[Tim Reynolds solo]

Its why I am 
unlikely to agree 
Why I am 
climbin out of my monkey tree 
Why I am 
still here dancin with the GrooGrux King 
we'll be drinkin Big Whiskey while we dance and sing 
and when my story ends its gonna end with him 
Heaven or Hell I'm goin there with the GrooGrux King 
Its Why I am 
the apple of your pretty eye 
Why I am 
a snake in the woodpile 
Why I am 
still here dancin with the GrooGrux King 

out of my head an into the womb 
so will my ghost takes me from you 
you can remember the fool that I am 
Dont cry baby don't cry
