I don't know how people can survive   Sometimes this life will just pass you by   The things I think, and sometimes say   Label me as a renagade   And though it's true, I don't mind   It wears on me, all the time   Forgive me if I just don't care   Who I am or what I'm doing here, hey   Who I am or what I'm doing here   Who I am or what I'm doing here   Who I am or what I'm doing here   Please don't tell me how I should live   A shit, my friend, I could not give   I guess I'll buy a sailboat   And sail away to a land where there's hope   Like Mexico, or the Hawaiian Isles   Where the people are kind and the weather is mild   Bermuda or some far-off sea   My lawn is blue, and as deep as deep could be   Deep as deep could be   Deep as deep could be   Deep as deep could be   Why don't you lat go of your dreams?   Why you always gotta make a scene?   Why can't you just face the facts?   You know in your heart that she's never coming back   Why can't you just knuckle down?   Get a job, a life, and get outta this town   Why you always gotta act so smart?   I say "Baby, why you asking me?   I just play my guitar"   This question why, it troubles me   I don't care why, I just wanna be free   Forget about Y, X, & Z   Get some R&R, just U and I and the C   You and I and the sea   You and I and the sea   You and I and the sea   Why, oh, why   Get rid of your dreams   Why, oh, why   Don't make a scene   Why, oh, why   Just face the facts   Why, oh, why   Did she never come back?   Y O Y   Just knuckle down   Y O Y   Get outta this town   Y O Y   Is this so hard?   Baby why you asking me?   I just play my guitar   I just play my guitar   I just play my guitar   I knew I'd never really get too far   Just playin' this damn guitar   I just play my damn guitar   I just play my damn guitar   Maybe I'll get hit by a car
