Don’t Bother Asking Me

 

 

I been walking out in the sun

The reason is my old car don’t run

Busted windshield, four flat tires

One day I just up and set the damned thing on fire

 

Don’t bother asking me I wouldn’t tell you if I knew

I don’t know why I do what I do, I just do

 

I been writing all these songs

Believed I was done, I was wrong

So I got me an old mandolin

I hit this chord and then I up and hit it again

 

Don’t bother asking me I wouldn’t tell you if I knew

I don’t know why I do what I do, I just do

 

For heaven’s sake, for crying out loud

The sun just went behind the clouds

Now you can’t tell me I don’t care

It’s just I’d rather cast a spell than say a prayer

 

Don’t bother asking me I wouldn’t tell you if I knew

I don’t know why I do what I do, I just do
