lyrics

I don’t even know my own name
My thoughts were something I could never tame
I could fill this room with all the mistakes I’ve made
Last week I left my windows down in the pouring rain

I’ve tripped over my toes too many dang times
Now when I walk I don’t care to open my eyes
I’ve never been a guy too good at sayin’ goodbye
I just turn my head and duck every time my girl cries

No one knows why I am the way I am
Brush my teeth and comb my hair because people tend to stare
Cleaned my clothes and shined my shoes, even paid off all my dues
But no one knows why I am the way I am
No one knows why I am the way I am
No one knows why I am the way I am
But I gonna’ be a better man

Well I’m gonna’ ditch this town to go find my fame
Writin’ songs made no money I guess I’ll hop a train
Then somehow my favorite t-shirt got a stain
Played my guitar and sang real loud but the people never came

No one knows why I am the way I am
Brush my teeth and comb my hair because people tend to stare
Cleaned my clothes and shined my shoes, even paid off all my dues
But no one knows why I am the way I am
No one knows why I am the way I am
No one knows why I am the way I am
But I gonna’ be a better man
