Why the Things We Do
--------------------
by Jimmy BuffettJay Oliver and Roger Guth

In an old house down by the beach
Lives an old man who s just out of reach
Ohhe s got nothing to lose
Some say he s a crazy old man
A refugee from a rock and roll band
Oh ohhe s still playing the blues

In the morning when you rise
Aren t you gald to be alive
oh ohput on your barefoot shoes
When you dance beneath the moon rainbow
Can t you feel the afterglow
Oh ohwhy 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 ohthere s no Earthly rules
And the people come to hear him say
Life s too short to live your way
Oh ohwho s really fooling who
Invisible means are the key to support
Makes you king in your own court
Oh ohwhat 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 ohput 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
