"Why I Am" lyrics - DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

I grew from monkey into man
Then I crushed fifteen million with the wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master at the same damn time

It's why I am
It's why I am
Why I am

Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the room, hello

King of men, it makes no sense
Oh, when I bow to the priest while I worship the witch

But it's why I am
Always the one to make you smile
Why I am
Still a snake in the wood pile
It's why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the room
So when the ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry, baby, don't cry

It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and me of the world
But only one way out of the world

It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

It's why I am
Unlikely to agree
It's why I am
Climbing out of my monkey tree
Why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

We'll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing
And when my story ends it's gonna end with him
Heaven or Hell, I'm going down with the GrooGrux King

Why I am
The apple of your pretty eye
Why I am
Snake in the wood pile
It's why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the room
So when the ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Don't cry, baby, don't cry
