Only God Knows Why Lyrics
I've been sittin' here trying to find myself
I get behind myself I need to rewind myself
Looking for the payback listening for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me
And I feel like number one yet I'm last in line
I watch my younger son and it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills that helps to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollare bills still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name they say it way out loud
A lot of folks fuck with me it's hard to hang out in a croud
I guess that's the price you pay to be some big shot like I am
Out strecthed hands and one night stands
Still I can't find love and when the walls are tumbling down
I will always be around
Yea.....
And when the walls are tumbling down I will always be around
People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the shit I've been through
Its been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone way too long
Maybe I've forgotten all the things I miss
Oh, somehow I know there is more to life than this
I've said it too many times and I still stand firm
You get what you put in and people get what they deserve
Still I aint seen mine, no I aint seen mine
I've been given but just aint gettin' I've been walkin that thin line
So I think I'll keep a walking with my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why
Only God, Only God, Only God knows why
Only God knows why,why,why,why
Only God knows why
Take it to the river, hey..
Take it to the river, hey..
I get behind myself I need to rewind myself
Looking for the payback listening for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me
And I feel like number one yet I'm last in line
I watch my younger son and it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills that helps to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollare bills still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name they say it way out loud
A lot of folks fuck with me it's hard to hang out in a croud
I guess that's the price you pay to be some big shot like I am
Out strecthed hands and one night stands
Still I can't find love and when the walls are tumbling down
I will always be around
Yea.....

Oh, somehow I know there is more to life than this
I've said it too many times and I still stand firm

Still I aint seen mine, no I aint seen mine
I've been given but just aint gettin' I've been walkin that thin line
So I think I'll keep a walking with my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why
Only God, Only God, Only God knows why
Only God knows why,why,why,why
Only God knows why
Take it to the river, hey..
Take it to the river, hey..

I believe this song is about the First Law of Thermodynamics and karma.
"You get what you put in, and people get what they deserve."
One of the best kid rock songs by far in my opinion. It's obvious that the song is about his rise to fame, and trying to deal with it. And also even though life gets hard sometimes, theres always things that can make life easier and make you feel better
"A stellar production" - David Lee Roth. If you've never seen Kid Rock in concert you have to, its your homework assignment. Even if you dont like him, go, its an event. He plays every instrament. Amazing. And when he plays this song ever lighter in the place is burning.
finchizzle89... lick my balls, son. Kid Rock is a bad ass, you are like, what, a sophomore in high school? Shouldn't you be listening to Avril Lavigne or something? Seriously, dude, get a driver's license, then talk to me. Jeff
I think the songs about some one whos just simply in a dark place in there life.
because of an addiciton, relationships, death. etc
And when your in that dark place you feel know one understands you. And you dont even understand your self. You dont feel like you use to (its been so long sense i've been home i've been gone i've been gone for way to long)
No body knows why things like this happen turns out ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY.
I'm not religious by any means. I think this song is about depression and how life gets you down. But somehow you find the will to carry on through any means, god or whatever. I also think this is a song about wanting to find a soul mate but somehow can't.
was just jamming to the song and it was hitting hard so I looked up the lyrics. I found it particularly interesting at the end he says take me to the river. I wonder is that where he was sitting there thinking in the beginning of the song? Or does he mean take me to river to be baptized? What do you think?
I just have to say that to me and my girl, this is our song...the first song that we slow-danced to and god does it make me think of the times that we have shared and the times that will come...
This is a deep song. I'm not sure I understand it, but it's deep anyway. I like it. Yes... Excellent... steeples fingers
yeah im sitting here trying to find my self! life is full of shit things but its ok cause God knows why! so i think i'll keep a walking with my head held high! Take it to the river!
