I don't know the answers to life's riddles
All I can be is dumb
I don't know why all bad things happen
All I can do is succumb
I don't know when I'll be happy again
All I can be is numb
I don't know the song or the notes
All I can do is strum
I don't know where I'm going
All I can do is thumb
I don't know where I'll end up
Only where I'm from
