Mama I Don't Know Why

So one night I decided, I made up my mind
Told everybody gonna leave this behind
I had to figure out just what this old world's about

Mama I don't know why
I just kept feeling this fever

So I packed up the Taurus and quit on the job
It never felt so good to walk out that shop
I guess I never fit with them good old boys, did I

Mama I don't know why
I just kept on feeling this fever
But you know the more I go with what feels right down deep inside my soul
Life becomes that much clearer

So I made my descent down from the snow and the ice
Hit the road West to where the weather was nice and
Something came over me while crossing that great divide

Mama I don't know why
I just kept on feeling this fever

Then on the side of a mountain almost ran out of gas
Just kept on coasting to that next overpass
I knew if I survived there'd still be no turning back

Mama I don't know why
I just kept on feeling this fever
But you know the more I go with what feels right down deep inside my soul
Life becomes that much clearer
And so it just don't matter where I'm bound, for I can take life's punches now
Cos I chose to be here

So early next morning I started again
Made it to LA where I found me some friends
Somehow I knew it all would work itself out in the end

Mama I don't know why
Ooooh
I just kept on feeling this fever

So I guess that's my story, as plain as the day
Sometimes a destiny can no longer wait
So now I'm writing to say you raised your boy just fine

Mama I don't know why,
But I guess you could say I'm a believer

But you know the more I go with what feels right down deep inside my soul
Life becomes that much clearer
And so it just don't matter where I'm bound, for I can take life's punches now,
When I chose to be here
