Ian Hunter
This is What I’m Here For
[Verse 1]
Ain't nothing special, average kid
There's something going on and I don't know what it is
Well I can feel it in my bones
All the way down in my rotten [?]
[?Semi-pro, semi-pro?]
No playin' dumb covers off the rodeo radio
Heading south, heading south
I gotta find out what all the fuss is about

[Pre-Chorus 1]
All I wanted was a song I could sing
A little music and a band that could swing
These are a few of my favorite things

[Chorus]
'Cause this is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
I might as well enjoy it, might as well enjoy it

[Verse 2]
I spent most of my life dreadin' the [?balls]
And pullin' on them communication calls
Satisfaction guaranteed
I don't forget you, you don't forget me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Some people like a stroll in the park
Some people like to swim with the sharks
I kind of like it with a song in the charts

[Chorus]
'Cause this is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for

[Bridge]
You had to be there, oh yeah
You had to be there
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Better late than never, better late than never, yeah
I was better late than never, better late than never

[Verse 3]
Well when I was thirty, I was over the hill
And fifty years later, I still kill 'em all
I ain't through, I ain't through
When I'm through I'll notify you

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I never listen to the prophets of doom
Too busy turning up the volume
From the womb to the tomb, from the womb to the tomb
[Chorus]
This is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
I might as well enjoy it, might as well enjoy it
I might as well enjoy it
Might as well enjoy it
Might as well enjoy it
Might as well enjoy it
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
'Cause this is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here
Alright, rest
