That's Why I'm Here Lyrics - Singles - Taylor James

person to person and man to man 

i'm back in touch with my long lost friend 

listen to reason and understand 

and think of me from way back when 

he said me and melissa well we fell out of love 

we ran out of luck seems like lightning struck 

i've been thinking of leaving but i can't raise a buck 

james i'm wondering could i borrow your truck 

i said that's why i'm here 

got no other reason 

that's why i'm standing before you 

that's why i'm here 

john's gone found dead he dies high he's brown bread 

later said to have drowned in his bed 

after the laughter the wave of the dread 

it hits us like a ton of lead 

it seems "learn not to burn" means to turn on a dime 

and walk on if you're walking even if it's an uphill climb 

and try to remember that working's no crime 

just don't let 'em take and waste your time 

that's why i'm here 

this is an iou 

i reckon' i owe you one now 

listen wendy and listen gloria 

this'll be better tomorrow 

fortune and fame's such a curious game 

perfect strangers can call you by name 

pay good money to hear fire and rain 

again and again and again 

some are like summer coming back every year 

got your baby got your blanket got your bucket of beer 

i break into a grin from ear to ear 

and suddenly it's perfectly clear 

that's why i'm here 

this is the part about kitty and bim 

he loved her and she loved him 

Wake 'em up shake 'em up the middle of the night 

got to tell me everything's alright 

he said that's why i'm here 

that's right
