[Verse 1: Darius Rucker & Charley Pride]
You'll never know when your last breath’s
Gonna fade like a July sunset
Or how a tragedy like gravity
Holds you still while the world keeps spinnin'
It's hard not to question circumstances
That leave you with nothin’ to say
Is there some kind of message? Some kind of lesson?
Damn, life's hard to explain
[Chorus: Jimmie Allen]
Oh, God, tell me why things happen
Things happen like they do
Leave you thinking 'bout how time leaves you
It gets you all confused
In the blink of a moment, gone 'fore you know it
Hits you right out of the blue
Wonderin' why things happen
Things happen like they do, yeah
[Verse 2: Charley Pride, Darius Rucker, Jimmie Allen]
How a child that's just been named
Can then be pulled from the arms of a mother
Or a cross on the side of a two-lane road
Holds the memory of somebody's brother
You try not to question God and his judgement
But, damnit, I don't understand
You'll never know when your last breath’s
Gonna fade like a July sunset
Or how a tragedy like gravity
Holds you still while the world keeps spinnin'
It's hard not to question circumstances
That leave you with nothin’ to say
Is there some kind of message? Some kind of lesson?
Damn, life's hard to explain
[Chorus: Jimmie Allen]
Oh, God, tell me why things happen
Things happen like they do
Leave you thinking 'bout how time leaves you
It gets you all confused
In the blink of a moment, gone 'fore you know it
Hits you right out of the blue
Wonderin' why things happen
Things happen like they do, yeah
[Verse 2: Charley Pride, Darius Rucker, Jimmie Allen]
How a child that's just been named
Can then be pulled from the arms of a mother
Or a cross on the side of a two-lane road
Holds the memory of somebody's brother
You try not to question God and his judgement
But, damnit, I don't understand
