That's Why I'm Here

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 (that's why I'm here) Got no better reason That's why I'm standing before you (that's why I'm here) 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 them take And waste your time That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here) There'll be no more messes tonight That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here) Whoa, 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 (that's why I'm here) Sing it tonight, tomorrow and everyday That's why I'm standing (that's why I'm here) Oh that's why I'm here This is the part About Kitty and Bim He loved her And she loved him Wake them up Shake them up The middle of the night Got to tell me everything's alright Sayin, that's why I'm here (that's why I'm here) You got me walking and talking like a natural man That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here) That's why I'm here That's right
