You swing by late with money for groceries Forgot writing the check another week I guess I thought that you remembered It's always four days till September And I pretend to sleep, but I didn't even brush my teeth And by the time I opened my eyes, your truck was gone So, I cried myself to sleep, just nine years young How could you not love what is yours? How could you leave two perfect boys? How could you not be enough, but still make me want your love? How could you call yourself a man? How could you not know who I am? How could you not be enough, but still makе me want your love? You both stand at the door, look at your boy Hе's grown into his ears, better to hear You kneel down next to the sofa You brush my hair and look me over And then you kiss my head, smell cigarettes fresh on your breath And by the time I got the nerve to tell you off Well, the tar and nicotine finally did their job How could you not love what is yours? How could you leave two perfect boys? How could you not be enough, but still make me want your love? How could you call yourself a man? How could you not know who I am? How could you not be enough, but still makе me want your love? Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Still chasing that light that you left behind Still fighting that fire, waiting for a sign Still chasing that light that you left behind Still wondering why you left me behind

You're probably wondering why I'm here And so am I So am I Just as much as you wonder 'Bout me bein' in this place (yeah) That's just how much I marvel At the lameness on your face You rise each day the same old way And join your friends out on the street Spray your hair and think you're neat I think your life is incomplete But maybe that's not for me to say They only pay me here to play (I wanna hear Caravan with a drum sola!) You're probably wondering why I'm here And so am I So am I Just as much as you wonder 'Bout me starin' back at you (yeah) That's just how much I question The corny things you do You paint your face and then you chase To meet the gang where the action is Stomp all night and drink your fizz Roll your car and say, "Gee whiz!" You tore a big hole in your convertible top What will you tell your mom and pop? (Mom, I tore a big hole in the convertible) You're probably wondering why I'm here And so am I So am I Just as much as you wonder If I mean just what I say (yeah) That's just how much I question The social games you play You told your mom you're stoked on Tom And went for a cruise in Freddie's car Tommy's asking where you are You boogied all night in a cheesy bar Plastic boots and plastic hat And you think you know where it's at? Yeah You're probably wondering why I'm here (Not that it makes a heck of a lot of a difference to ya!)

She comes from silver spoon, golden rule, private school Never missed Sunday church And I come from blue collar, low dollar Out here where concrete meets old red dirt And I don't know what happened But it sure don't add up on paper But when I close my eyes late at night You can bet I thank my maker She keeps on loving me Loves me the way I am She's not just along for the ride She's my biggest fan Lord, it's a little old piece of heaven When we lay down at night She keeps on loving me And I keep on wondering why She's got a wicked smile, angel eyes Every guy wanting to hold her close She's as pretty as sin Like the sun sinking down on the California coast She keeps on loving me Loves me the way I am She's not just along for the ride She's my biggest fan Lord, it's a little old piece of heaven When we lay down at night She keeps on loving me And I keep on wondering why Alright, alright, alright I don't know what happened But it sure don't add up on paper And as long as she lets me I'll take her wherever she wants me to take her, oh She keeps on loving me Loves me the way I am She's not just along for the ride She's my biggest fan And it's a little old piece of heaven When we lay down at night She keeps on loving me And I keep on wondering why She keeps on loving me And I keep on wondering why

I'm a mess sometimes Who knows it better than I do? When I lose my mind Nothing finds me like you do You pick me up and, pull me out of the dark spaces You, always know the perfect words to say I've been high, I've been low When I get lost along this road There's a voice that calls me home And keeps me going And if I win, or if I lose I will always make it through 'Cause I know that I got you To keep me going To keep me going (You keep me going) When I hit the wall You're there right beside me When the curtain falls And all I feel is empty You pick me up and Dust me off when I'm, on my knees and You always know the perfect words to say I've been high, I've been low When I get lost along this road There's a voice that calls me home And keeps me going And if I win, or if I lose I will always make it through Because I know that I got you To keep me going To keep me going To keep me going When the ground just shakes, my bones just ache And the world stops turning 'round When I'm giving up, I'm letting go All the walls start crashing down I've been high, I've been low When I get lost along this road There's a voice that calls me home And keeps me going And if I win, or if I lose I will always make it through Because I know that I got you To keep me going To keep me going (I've been high, I've been low, when I get lost along this road) Oh, you keep me going (there's a voice that calls me home and keeps me going) You just keep me going (if I win, or if I lose) Yeah, you keep me going (I will always make it through) You just keep me going (because I know that I got you) Oh, you keep me going You keep me going You keep me going You keep me going
