That's Why I'm Here

Person to person
 And man to man
 I'm back in touch with my long lost friend
 Listen to reason
 And understand
 And think of me from way back when
 He said, "Me and Melissa
 Well, we fell out of love
 Ran out of luck
 Seems like lightning struck
 I've been thinkin' of leavin'
 But I can't raise a buck
 James, I'm wondering, could I borrow your truck?"
 I said, "That's why I'm here" (that's why I'm here)
 Got no better reason
 That's why I'm standing before you (that's why I'm here)
 That's why I'm here
 John's gone found dead
 He dies high he's brown bread
 Later said to have drowned in his bed
 After the laughter
 The wave of the dread
 It hits us like a ton of lead
 It seems "learn not to burn"
 Means to turn on a dime
 Walk on if you're walking
 Even if it's an uphill climb
 Try to remember that
 That working's no crime
 Just don't let 'em take
 And waste your time
 That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
 There'll be no more messes tonight
 That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
 Whoa, that's why I'm here
 This is an I.O.U
 I reckon I owe you one now
 Listen Wendy and listen Gloria
 This'll be better tomorrow
 Oh, fortune and fame's such a curious game
 Perfect strangers
 Can call you by name
 And pay good money to hear "Fire And Rain"
 Again and again and again
 Oh, some are like summer
 Coming back every year
 Got your baby, got your blanket
 Got your bucket of beer
 I break into a grin
 From ear to ear
 And suddenly it's perfectly clear
 That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
 Singing tonight, tomorrow
 And every day
 That's why standin' (that's why I'm here)
 Whoa, that's why I'm here
 This is the part about Kitty and Bim
 He loved her
 And she loved him
 Wake 'em up, shake 'em up
 The middle of the night
 You got to tell me everything's all right
 I said that's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
 You got me walkin' and talkin' like a natural man
 That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
 That's why I'm here
 That's right
