Why the Things We Do

--------------------

by Jimmy Buffett, Jay Oliver and Roger Guth



In an old house down by the beach

Lives an old man who's just out of reach

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 gald 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



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 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 in the dark



Why the things we do

Why the things we do

Why the things we do

Why the things we do



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 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
