Why do
Verse 1
C
D
they slow the freeway down when the river turns,
G
Em
Am
G
when it comes through town, when the water hits the rocks, it rolls with a hot, raw tempo?
D
Oh, I'm drivin' slow
G
Well, maybe I picked out
C
a boring use
D
G
For the air I'm forced in the inner tube
Em
Instead of squintin'
through this muddy screen
Am
G
I should be sittin', splashin',
D
floatin' downstream
G
Here we go around the dry thistle
C
G
Monkey can climb, but I whistle
D
G
He can't sing and I can't dance
C
And the monkey don't have to wear
D

G
C
Young men cope, old men bitch
D
Cause the ones in the middle
G

Em

He can't sing and I can't dance
