Why Me Lyrics - Singles - Lost Trailers

Sometimes I go walking through the long tall grass 

Wonder how long hard times will last 

For this backward soul on a road that god knows where 

As hard as I try ain't left no tracks 

It's not enough to find my way back 

I hit the ground like broken glass and just lay there 

Singing, "Why me, oh, why me?" 

And I throw another empty bottle up against the wall 

And I say, "Why me, oh why me?" 

But pity never ever did me any kinda good at all 

So I walk on 

And I wound up on the capital steps 

Watching the lobbyists smoking cigarettes 

And bury their shoes in the country club blues 

And who got who by the short hairs 

Standing there in their high dollar suits 

Looking down at my tattered old jeans and boots 

And this weathered guitar that seems to follow me everywhere 

God, it follows me everywhere 

Playing, "Why me, oh why me?" 

All I got's another song about how money makes and breaks the law 

And I sing, "Why me, oh why me?" 

I'm just a broke troubadour with a bark for the underdog 

And I walk on 

Now I ain't Jesus but I can relate 

To a man looking death square in the face 

Even he hit his knees with a plea in the garden of Gethsemane 

To his holy father he raised his eyes 

In his darkest hour he cried 

"Please would you take this cup from me?" 

Praying, "Why me, oh why me?" 

Knowing all the while he had to carry that cross and hang there 

When I say, "Why me, oh why me?" 

I know that somewhere up in heaven 

There's a big old book with my name there 

So I walk on, I rock on 

Even when I'm singing, "Why me?", I rock on 

Even when I'm singing, "Why me?", I rock on 

Even when I'm singing, "Why me?", oh why me, oh?
