[Intro]
C G G C
[Verse 1]
C
Why does a deer get froze by headlights?
G
Why does a 'pecker bang his head on your stovepipe
G C
When he's got himself a perfectly good pine log of his own?
C
Why did I go out lookin' for answers
G
At the all-night bars with the pole-dancers?
G C
When the truth was waitin' in a warm bed back at home
[Chorus 1]
F
Sometimes dogs bark at nothin'
C
Like when little kids start cussin'
G C
They don't know why, they just do it 'cause they can
F
Sometimes a girl's heart gets busted
C
By a boy that she once trusted
G C
Ain't no reason 'cept that he was born a man
[Instrumental]
G C
[Verse 2]
C
Why does a lightning bug keep flashin'
G
Dyin' in the ditch with a burnin' passion
G C
When all the other bugs have got their lovin' and gone?
C
How come there ain't no rhyme or reason
G
For why a big bright sun in the summer season
G C
Can still leave a body feeling cold and all alone?
[Chorus 2]
F
Sometimes dogs bark at nothin'
C
Like when little kids start cussin'
G C
They don't know why, they just do it 'cause they can
F
Sometimes a girl's heart gets busted
C
By a boy that she once trusted
G C
Ain't no reason 'cept that he was born a man
G C
Yeah, there ain't no reason 'cept that he was born a man
