"Only God Knows Why" is a song by American musician Kid Rock. It was recorded in 1998 for his album Devil Without a Cause, on which it features as the eleventh track. The song was the first recorded ballad on record by Kid Rock. It was a weary road ballad in which the first four lines were written while he was in jail after a bar fight after signing to Atlantic Records in 1997.
The song was released as a single in 1999 and peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100,[3] eventually ranking at number 67 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 for 2000.[4] VH1 named it the 19th greatest power ballad in 2002.[5] Outlaw country singer David Allan Coe released a live cover version of his release Live at Billy Bob's in 2003.
