I Don't Know Why

Most days I wake up and I do my best But sometimes I go and kick the hornets' nest I stir 'em up oh just to watch 'em fly Don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why Most days I try to tell the honest truth But sometimes I come home with a fib or two Oh nothing crazy just some off-white lies Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why (And I don't know why) I've got this terrible feeling (And I don't know why) The paint in my head is peeling (And I don't know why) I strapped my boots to the ceiling but I just got high (So high) Oh my And I don't know why Most days I follow what the good book says But sometimes I go out on the town instead I keep on drinking 'til my luck runs dry Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why (And I don't know why) I just can't seem to forget her (And I don't know why) She said goodbye in a letter (And I don't know why) I told myself I'd do better but I just got high (So high) Oh my And I don't know why Most days I'm grateful for the things I have But sometimes I want a little more than that Now if that makes me such an awful guy I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why (And I don't know why) I can't keep up with the neighbors (And I don't know why) These days everyone is famous (And I don't know why) I do my best to behave but I just got high (So high) Oh my Oh I just got high (So high) Oh my And I don't know why
