Reasons Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Written by Marty Stuart 

It was the perfect excuse to get drunk 

As if lately I've needed one 

It Was the perfect excuse to buy bullets 

For the barrel of my favorite gun 

It was the perfect way to show you 

How it feels inside of me 

And the perfect way to find out 

How it feels to set me free 

Reasons 

I keep looking for reasons 

I thought that I had loved you 

I did the best I could 

Reasons 

I keep looking for reasons 

I lost the reason for me living 

And that just ain't no good 

I know that three's a crowded room 

But really, this won't take long 

I want to meet the man, help him to understand 

What he did when he broke up our home 

And I'll be going now to a place I know 

That's deep, dark and quiet 

Away from pain and the undying shame 

Of me and my unfaithful wife 

Reasons 

I keep looking for reasons 

I thought that I had loved you 

I did the best I could 

Reasons 

I keep looking for reasons 

I lost the reason for me living 

And that just ain't no good 

I lost the reason for me living 

And that just ain't no good
