I Don't Understand
My sister used to drink pickle juice straight out of the jar I don't understand, She seemed to really like it Then she'd grab an onion and take a bite Just like it was an apple ripe I don't understand, but then again, I never tried it You just don't know what's gonna happen Before the day is through It might make you happy it might make you blue On Saturdays we'd go to the lake My daddy knew I couldn't swim So he'd throw me in, I don't understand As I paddled on back my brothers yelled Look out there's a snake below Huh? A snake? man I'm gettin' out of here Even when we know what happened And the whole day is through We can only guess if it's good or bad, This much is true When the ice cream truck 'd come down the street My grandma would give me a nickel I never had the nerve to tell her it cost a dollar One day I walked into her room SongtexteAnd she couldn't remember my name Only yesterday, she was readin' me a book No matter what we do today the sun is gonna shine Even when it's rainin' it's up there all of the time Later that night I was laughin' so hard My daddy sent me out of the room I don't understand, I don't understand, The very next morning I was out in the yard My sister gave me her pickle juice jar Now that I could understand Then it hit me, I realized it's okay not to know Some day I'm going to get this For now that's the way it goes You tell 'em Roy, I know exactly what you mean.
