My neighbor sits all day in a lawn chair
In his double wide garage
I walk my dog past his driveway and wonder
What's he thinking of
I wave but keep on walking
Is he just taking in the view
It's only blacktop and an old street light
Still I'd like to know wouldn't you
I'd like to know wouldn't you
Why some people do the things they do
And while we're at it
Why ain't the sky pink instead of blue
I'd like to know
I'd like to know
I'd like to know
Wouldn't you
Maybe he quit his job or got fired
Did his wife up and leave
Maybe he's just bone tired
And wants some peace
It is what it is
Probably should just mind my own biz
So I keep walking down the road
Still I'd like to know
I'd like to know wouldn't you
Why some people do the things they do
And while we're at it
Why ain't the sky pink instead of blue
I'd like to know
I'd like to know
I'd like to know
Wouldn't you
