Why The Things We Do - Jimmy Buffett, Elliot Scheiner

In an old house down by the beach

Lives an old man who’s just out of reach

Oh oh, he’s got nothing to lose

Some say he’s a crazy old man

A refugee from a rock and roll band

Oh oh, he’s still playing the blues

In the morning when you rise

Aren’t you glad to be alive

Oh oh, put on your barefoot shoes

When you dance beneath the moon rainbow

Can’t you feel the afterglow

Oh oh, why the things we do

Why the things we do

Why the things we do

In the driftwood house you learn how to dream

Truth is stranger than fishing it seems

Oh oh, there’s no Earthly rules

And the people come just to hear him say

Life’s too short to live your way

Oh oh, who’s really fooling who

Invisible means are the key to support

Makes you king in your own court

Oh oh, what have you got to lose

Push the sadness from your heart

There’s no living after dark

Oh oh

Why the things we do

Why the things we do

Why the things we…

Why the things we do

Why the things we do

Why the things we do

Why the things we do

In the morning when you rise

Aren’t you glad to be alive

Oh oh, put on your barefoot shoes

When you dance beneath the moon rainbow

Can’t you feel the afterglow

Oh oh, that’s why the things we do

That’s why the things we do

That’s why the things we do

That’s why the things we do
