Reasons (The Writer’s Cut)

[Verse 1] I don't know why you can't buy wine 'round here on Sundays Or an ice cold beer at a college football game I don't know why at eighteen, mama gave me a curfew But it was, "Son, you're under my roof, then you're under my rules" [Pre-Chorus] I guess it's all a part of a bigger plan And some of them, I'll never understand [Chorus] But they got their reasons, just like you When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin' Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end I got my reasons [Verse 2] I don't know why them uptown guys sittin' three seats from me Are raisin' 'em up just as fast as they can put 'em down Or why that old timer wants the Yankees on the TV And the barkeep keeps buyin' that one girl free rounds [Chorus] But they got their reasons, just like you When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin' Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end I got my reasons [Bridge] Some are good and some are bad Some are true and some are sad Everyone's got some, but I need one that brings you back [Chorus] 'Cause they got their reasons, just like you When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin' Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end I got my reasons [Outro] Woah, I got my reasons Woah, I got my reasons I got my reasons
