James Taylor That's Why I'm Here Lyrics

Person to person and man to man
I'm back in touch with my long lost friend.
Listen to reason and understand
Think of me from way back when.
He said me and Melissa well we fell out of love
We ran out of luck seems like lightning struck.
I've been thinking of leaving but I can't raise a buck
James I'm wondering could I borrow your truck?

I said that's why I'm here.
Got no better reason
That's why I'm standing before you
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 working's no crime
Just don't let 'em take and waste your time.
That's why I'm here.

This is an IOU
I reckon I owe you one now
Listen Wendy and listen Glori
This'll be better tomorrow.

Fortune and fame's such a curious game
Perfect strangers can call you by name.
Pay good money to hear "Fire and Rain"
Again and again and again.
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.

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
Got to tell me everything's alright
He said that's why I'm here.

That's right.
