lyrics

why oh why

I ain't never going back again
I been through that scene - I can't call them friends
everyone know the reason why
it seems to me it's lie or die

oh I see the reason you're smiling
I see the reason you cry
yes, I can see them
guess I'll be leaving
I just have to ask myself
why oh why oh why oh why oh why

these are such hard times I know
all of our pleasures they come so slow
go on home do the best you can
make yourself a living, make yourself a plan

oh I see the reason you're smiling
I see the reason you cry
yes, I can see them
guess I'll be leaving
I just have to ask myself
why oh why oh why oh why oh why

across the river's where I want to go
off to a place where there's no-one I know
someday soon I'll cross these tracks
please believe me won't be coming back

oh I see the reason you're smiling
I see the reason you cry
yes, I can see them
guess I'll be leaving
I just have to ask myself
why oh why oh why oh why oh why

now I've made it across the river
I got the goods I must deliver
it seems to me the world's gonna end
but I'll still be travelling, travelling my friend

why oh why
