Why’d it do that?

“Why’d It Do That?”

We were drivin’ hot down a long ol’ stretch,

Late for a load and dodgin’ a ditch.

Shane 2’s behind the wheel, snacks in lap,

Hit that speed bump like it owed him tax.

Truck bounced high, then slammed down hard,

Whole crew airborne like a deck of cards.

I yelled “Bro, slow down!” but he just blinked,

Looked around and said, confused as stink…

⸻

“Why’d it do that?” became the phrase,

Every time the truck misbehaves.

Brakes screamin’? “Why’d it do that?”

Mirror fall off? “Why’d it do that?”

Obvious as hell, but that’s the bit—

Now me and Dillon still sayin’ it.

Flat tire, dolly stuck, pad ripped in half—

“Why’d it do that?” and then we laugh.

⸻

I seen a dresser fall off the ramp,

Shane said, “It’s haunted,” blamed the lamp.

Tape stuck to his own damn boot,

Still said, “Why it do that?” in a tone so cute.

He once unplugged a fridge, broke the plug,

Then asked, “Why the cold air shrunk?” with a shrug.

He wasn’t dumb, just permanently high,

Livin’ in a world where physics lie.

⸻

“Why’d it do that?” — bless his name,

Turned every slip-up into a catchphrase game.

Gate slams loud? “Why’d it do that?”

Truck stalls out? “Why’d it do that?”

Dillon stubbed his toe on a ramp that’s bent,

Still yells it like it’s heaven-sent.

Every bump, crash, break, or splat…

We echo it proud: “Why’d it do that?”

⸻

Joe: Remember when the dolly flew off the liftgate?

Dillon: Yeah, he asked if it had a mind of its own.

Joe: Bro once tripped on his own shoelaces and said it.

Dillon: I’m tellin’ you… he built different.

⸻

Now years gone by, but the phrase still lives,

We say it for laughs, it’s the gift he gives.

From every blown tire to pad torn bad,

Shane 2’s words echo through each mishap.

He may not work here, may not call back,

But when the dolly tips or the gate goes slack,

We look at each other, smirkin’ on cue—

And yell that line like Shane still do.

⸻

“Why’d it do that?” — we say it loud,

For every fk-up that makes us proud.**

Truck shakin’? “Why’d it do that?”

Client mad? “Why’d it do that?”

It don’t make sense, and it never will—

But the phrase got power, the phrase got chill.

So here’s to Shane 2, dumb and wise—

Still drivin’ fast with wonder in his eyes.

…Why’d it do that?
