Why Do I Even Try?

They said hey man just be yourself Don't mind what people say But I said I don't like The Beatles And they spit right in my face I tried and tried to fit the mold I gave it my best shot To push down my thoughts and bury my doubts To keep the friends that I got (Oh why) Oh why tell me why I even try (To find) To find a quiet place beneath these skies (Oh my) Oh my it's a place for fickle minds And I'm wandering so why do I even try They said hey find out what you think About living in this place But if you go outside the fenceline Boy you better hide your face It went alright for a day or two But I didn't like their songs I went out to find some different tunes And to find out why they were wrong (Oh why) Oh why tell me why I even try (To find) To find a quiet place beneath these skies (Oh my) Oh my it's a place for fickle minds And I'm wandering so why do I even try Yeah I think quite like you do And we get along okay But if I didn't believe the same way Would you like me just the same I hang my hat on a hook like yours But I don't wear it quite as straight We're more alike than you might think And there's not a lot at stake (Oh why) Oh why tell me why I even try (To find) To find a quiet place beneath these skies (Oh my) Oh my it's a place for fickle minds And I'm wandering so why do I even try I'm wandering so why do I even try
