James Taylor - That´s Why I´m Here lyrics

Album: Classic Songs (1990)

person to person & man to man
i am back in touch with my long lost friend
listen to reason & understand
and think of me from way back when
he said me & melissa well we fell out of love
we ran out of luck seems like lightning struck
i have been thinking of leaving but i cannot raise a buck
james i am wondering can i borrow your truck
i said that is why i am here
got no other reason
that is why i am standing before you
that is why i am here
john´s gone found dead he dies high he has brown bread
later said to have drowned in his bed
after the laughter the wave of the dread
its hits us like a ton of lead
it seems "learn not to burn" means turn on a dime
and walk on if you are walking even if it is an uphill climb
and try to remember that working´s no crime
just don´t let em take & waste your time
that is why i am here
this is an iou
i reckon´ i owe you one now
listen to wendy & listen to gloria
this´ll be better tomorrow
fortune & fame´s such a curious game
perfect strangers can call you by name
pay good money to hear fire & rain
again & again & again
some are like summer coming back every yeahr
got your baby got your blanket got your bucket of beer
i break into a grin from ear to ear
and suddenly it is perfectly clear
that is why i am here
this is the part about kitty & bim
he loved her & she loved him
wake em up shake em up the middle of the night
got to tell me everything is alright
he said that is why i am here
that is right
