Why The Things We Do Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Why the Things We Do 

by Jimmy Buffett, Jay Oliver, Roger Guth 

1989 

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
