Dave Matthews playing Why I Am at the Izod Center 4/15/09

Song off of their new album that comes out June 2nd. Buy it!



I grew from monkey into man
then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
'til I was slave and master
at the same damn time

But it's why I am
why I am
why I am
still here dancing with the GrooGrux king
out of my head and into the womb, heaven

A king of man, it makes no sense
ah and I bow to the wicked, while I worship the witch
but it's why I am
the only one that make you smile
that's why I am
a snake/stake in the woodpile
why I am
lost in here dancing with the GrooGrux king

Out of my head and into the womb
so when my ghost takes me from you
you can remember the fool that I am
don't cry baby, don't cry

It's the lose and the win of the world
wrong and right, is the whim the world
it's the you and the me of the world
only one way out of the world
it's the lose and the win of the world
wrong and right, it the rim of the world
it's the you and the me of the world
only one way out of the world

That's why I am
I'm unlikely to agree
that's why I am
I'm out of my monkey tree
why I am
still here dancing with the GrooGrux king
will be drinking big whiskey, while we dance and sing
when my story ends, it's gonna end with him
heaven or hell - I'm going there with the GrooGrux king

why I am
the color of your pretty eye
a snake/stake in the woodpile
why I am
still here dancing with the GrooGrux king

Out of my head, and into the womb
so when my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool I am
Don't cry baby, don't cry.

  • awesome! Thanks!

  • Best new song so far, I think most can agree. I just wish Dave would play acoustic on it; it's a hair too heavy, but that's only my opinion.

    The lyrics are pretty close, thanks for the great post!

  • I'm lovin the new songs
