Shelby Lynne - Why Can't You Be? Lyrics
(written by shelby lynne and bill botrell)You and your element of dangerousCheatin death like a stranger butDevils got your shirt tail clutchedIn the palm of his handDouble vodka on the rocksOn a plastic trayNever fails you but it wontTake the hours away - hey, hey, heyWhy cant you beWhy cant you beIts plain to see you driveYourself crazyWhy cant you beWhy cant you beIts plain to see youreThe only enemyYou got some stories youre afraid to tellTired of living in a shotgun shellHeadin west to find the edge ofLife itselfLast I heard there were angelsWalking in los angelesWith their hands in theirPockets lookin cool like me, he, he, heScared of lovin cause itMight feel goodYou want to get it like youKnow you shouldWhat the hells wrong withLiving without the bluesYou stand convicted, youStand accusedYoure so conflicted andAbused, ooh ooh oohSo heres to youGuilty of being you is theEasiest of all the things you do
