Jonathan East Lyrics
Why I Do the Things I Do Lyrics
Monday morning the alarm clock rings, about the break of dawn
Ten minutes I�m out the door, moving right along
Well, eight hours of sucking up sure gets mighty old
When I come home, my little boy�s waiting with a fishing pole
My wife said, �We missed you�
That�s why I do the things I do.
Lately, this old truck I drive, it�s been stalling some
And I just can�t afford right now to buy another one
Maybe, I�ll break even in this world someday
�Til then there�s mouths to feed and bills to pay
And dreams that won�t come true
That�s why I do the things I do.
(Chorus)
That�s why I work and that�s why I pray
That�s why get up every day
That�s the only reason I�m still standing here
That�s why I laugh, that�s why I love
That�s why I thank the Lord above
For giving me the things that I hold dear
Son, I�m living proof
That�s why I do the things I do.
Well, there was a time when I lived dangerously
And I let the devil take control of me
I swore I�d never go back to that life again
Well, I can�t help but think sometimes, what might have been
The hell that I went through
That�s why I do the things I do.
(Repeat Chorus)
Heaven knows I�d never change it
Still there�s times I can�t believe
That when it comes down to forever
Girl, you�re the only thing I need.
(Repeat Chorus)
Monday morning the alarm clock rings about the break of dawn
Ten minutes I�m out the door, moving right along.
