[Ian Hunter - This Is What I'm Here For feat. Taylor Hawkins, Joe Elliott, Waddy Wachtel lyrics]
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 inside, yeah
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
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
'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
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
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
'Cause this is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
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
Well, when I was 30, I was over the hill
And 50 years later, I still kill 'em all
I ain't through, I ain't through
When I'm through, I'll notify you
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
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
'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
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 inside, yeah
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
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
'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
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
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
'Cause this is what I'm here for
This is what I'm here for
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
Well, when I was 30, I was over the hill
And 50 years later, I still kill 'em all
I ain't through, I ain't through
When I'm through, I'll notify you
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
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
'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
