Why Not Me

Why you with your long brown hair flowing
And you with your fresh tattooed skin
And you from the Western Virginia
That ya never get to see again

As darkness descends in the desert
And a bad actor starred in his play
Why you from Tennessee that life captured
And me from Tennessee get away

Yeah when the morning sun hit the mountain
And a glorious still,calms the breeze
I asked the God of all Knowing wisdom
Why you and why not me

Yeah the Lord is my refuge, my fortress
My God with whom I trust
But I'll never know why the wicked
Gets to pray on the best of us

Why you full of life and promise
At the top of your lungs so loud
My songs that you sing so sweetly remain
In my ears forever now

Yeah when the morning sun hit the mountain
And a glorious still,calms the breeze
I asked the God of infinite wisdom
Why you and why not me

Yeah when the morning sun hit the mountain
And a glorious still,calms the breeze
I'll ask the god of my salvation
Why you and why not me

Why you and why not me
