Lyrics
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?
By: Mike Cloonan, Bill Wynn, Bruce Bolan

VERSE 1
Left work in a hurry
Checked in at the local dive
Thought I'd have me one quick drink
Here I am too blind to drive
VERSE 2
Braves are on the TV
Chipper's coming up to bat
Chipper's on his way to home
I really should be doing that
BRIDGE
Just one more shot, drink till I drop
Help me Lord, sometimes I can?t stop
In the mirror my reflection?s
Asking me that same old question.
CHORUS
What the hell am I doing here?
Feel like I?m stuck in second gear
Can?t seem to change or get anywhere
What the hell am I doing here?
What the hell am I doing here?
VERSE 3
Couldn?t stand the laughter
Couldn?t stand the smoke anymore
Couldn?t stand the guy next to me
Just some steps I?d be out the door.
VERSE 4
Walked out in a hurry
Left my money on the bar
Couldn?t find my car keys
Didn?t matter couldn?t find my car.
BRIDGE
Soon the sidewalk turned to blacktop
Help me Lord sometimes I can't stop
At a crossroads intersection
I ask myself that same old question.
CHORUS
What the hell am I doing here?
Feel like I?m stuck in second gear
Can?t seem to change or get anywhere
What the hell am I doing here?
What the hell am I doing here?
