Why the Things We Do
by Jimmy Buffett, Jay Oliver, Roger Guth
1989
In an old house down by the beach
Lives an old man who's just out of reach
Oh 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 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 oh, why the things we do
Why the things we do
Why the things we do

One two three four

I heard the whistle blowin' as I pulled in the gate
I knew without lookin' I was already late
Prayin' the boss wouldn't catch me again
Sweatin' bullets while I was sneakin' in

I'm livin in a bullseye ground zero
It's kinda scary when the arrows fly
I ain't tryin' to be no superhero
I duck and cover just to stay alive
Livin' in a bullseye

Eight hours later at a half past five
I'm listenin' to my radio and pullin' in the drive
The music tellin' me a thing that's good
So I'm crossin' all my fingers and I'm knockin on wood

'Cause I'm livin in a bullseye ground zero
It's kinda scary when the arrows fly
I ain't tryin' to be no superhero
I duck and cover just to stay alive
You know I'm livin' in a bullseye

I know the minute that I get home
I finally made it through the danger zone
The part of my day that I love the best
When her lovin' wraps around me like a bullet-proof vest

'Cause I'm livin in a bullseye ground zero
It's kinda scary when the arrows fly
I ain't tryin' to be no superhero
I duck and cover just to stay alive
Livin' in a bullseye ground zero
It's kinda scary when the arrows fly
I ain't tryin' to be no superhero
I duck and cover just to stay alive
Livin' in a bullseye
