Why Not Me? lyrics

Well ever since the day that time began
There's been this thing 'tween a woman and a manv We'll, I don't know but I do believe
It started in the garden with Adam and Eve
Sampson and Delilah had their fling
'Til she cut his hair and clipped his wing
It don't matter how the story's told
Love stays young it can't grow old
(Chorus)
Let me tell you about love
About the moon and stars above

The night was dark, rain fallin' down
Look for my baby, he's nowhere around
I traced his footsteps down to the shore
Afraid he's gone forever more

(Chorus)

I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say,
"I took your baby from you away"
I heard a voice, cryin' in the deep,
"Come join your baby in my endless sleep"

Why did we quarrel? Why did we fight?

(Chorus)

Oooh - I'm missin' you
I've got those bye-bye, bye-bye baby blues
Oooh- Ain't much to do
Just sing those bye-bye, bye-bye baby blues

Havin' the blues, hatin' to loose
Guess I got a lot to learn
All of my friends have lost now and then
I guess it's just my turn

(Repeat Chorus)

Tell me the first, hurt you the worst
And time is your best friend

Met my first love down in Texas
In a club in San Anton'
Both of us were lonely
Had no one to call our own
So we danced and laughed 'til closin' time
And had no place to go
So with the top pulled down, drove all night
Run off to Mexico
But my blond haired blue eyed cowboy
Turned out to be bad news
Disappeared one morning
Left his old boots and the blues
Now there's been so many others

River roll on
Wish I could be like you
No looking back
And no heart that breaks in two
You'll never now
What a goodbye can do
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
River roll on
Free as the winds that blow
Feelin' no pain
We just roll'em with the flow
No tears to cry
No songs to make you blue
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
Oh, I never thought that
I could ever feel so all alone

There's a bird in my tree
Singin' sad autumn melodies
There's a old summer breeze
And it's blowin' away

There's a cloud in my sky
There's a boy who's been on my mind
There's a tear in my eye
And I think it might rain

(Chorus)

Drops of water, drops of water
Fallin' down around fate
Oh, it's nothin' but the rain in my life
Drops of water, drops of water
Fallin' down around my fate

Met my first love down in Texas
In a club in San Anton'
Both of us were lonely
Had no one to call our own
So we danced and laughed 'til closin' time
And had no place to go
So with the top pulled down we drove all night
Ran off to Mexico

But my blond-haired, blue-eyed cowboy
Turned out to be bad news
Disappeared one morning
Left his old boots and the blues

You been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby don't you know this country girls still free
Why not me?

So you finally come down to your old home town
Your Kentucky girls been awaitin' patiently
Why not me?

Why not me on a rainy day
Why not me to love your cares away
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold
Why not me when you're growin' old
Why not me?
