Don't Ask Me Why (I'm Going to Texas) - Asleep At The Wheel

All the waiters in your, grand café Leave their tables when you blink, oh! Every dog must have his everyday Every drunk must have his drink Don't wait for answers Just take your chances Don't ask me why All your life you've had to stand in line Still you're standing on your feet, oh All your choices make you change your mind Now your calendar's complete Don't wait for answers Just take your chances Don't ask me why Mmm, you can say the human heart is only make believe I am only fighting fire with fire You are still the victim of the accidents you leave Sure as I'm a victim of desire All the servants in your new hotel Throw their roses at your feet, oh Fool them all but baby I can tell You're no stranger to the street Don't ask for favors Don't talk to strangers Don't ask me why Yesterday you were an only child Now your ghosts have gone away, oh You can kill them in the classic-style Now, you parlez-vous français Don't look for answers You took your chances Don't ask me why Don't ask me why

I love you (woo-woo-woo-woo) 'Cos you tell me things I want to know And it's true (woo-woo-woo-woo) That it really only goes to show That I know that I, I, I, I Should never, never, never be blue Now you're mi-i-i-i-ine My happiness, dear, makes me cry And in ti-i-i-i-ime You'll understand the reason why If I cry, it's not because I'm sad But you're the only love that I've ever had I can't believe It's happened to me I can't conceive Of any more Misery Ask me why I'll say I love you (ooooh) And I'm always thinking of you I love you (woo-woo-woo-woo) 'Cos you tell me things I want to know And it's true (woo-woo-woo-woo) That it really only goes to show That I know that I, I, I, I (ooooh) Should never, never, never be blue Ask me why I'll say I love you (ooooh) And I'm always thinking of you I can't believe It's happened to me-e-e-e I can't conceive Of any more Misery Ask me why I'll say I love you (ooooh) And I'm always thinking of you You (ooh) You (ooh)

Even now I can see that day The fear in your eyes Tell me why Were you so afraid Somethings they turn out this way Fire the bullet and find That you don't know what you left behind When we laid you to rest Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid You walk this line You walk this line of hate Where to people are so blind Blind to the evil it creates Never say to much Never think out loud Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid I know one day you'll find a way To heal the wounds I know one day you'll find a way To heal the wounds Tell me why were you so afraid Even now I can see that day The fear in your eyes You gave all you lived for Whilst you kept your pride Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid

The clubs were all closed Streets dark and empty There seems a threat Every breath seems to tempt me Live life like we used to For those days we've had But we'll be together In better times Times when we join hands Neighbors and friends Times when the good times Together never end Times when we gather Ties that bind But we'll be together again In better times Friends on the street They all look like Jesse James Mask up at distant They just don't look the same Concerts and parties And football game Virtual everything's Just ain't the same Tired of 2020 Ready to flee Tired of being lonely Yearning to breathe free Remember the rhythm Remember the rhyme 'Cause we'll be together again In better times Friends on the street They all look like Jesse James Mask up at distant They just don't look the same Concerts and parties And football game Virtual everything's Just ain't the same Tired of 2020 Ready to flee Tired of being lonely Yearning to breathe free Remember the rhythm Remember the rhyme 'Cause we'll be together again In better times

I'm like a blind man driving, down both sides of the road I got nine hours behind me, I got nine more to go I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away I got my foot down to the floorboards, I'm in a one care race While my radio is slapping country tunes across my face I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away Well these pretzel sticks at Denny's don't give me much relief I got one eye on the State Patrol, the other eye is asleep I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away With my eyes part open dreaming, about sleeping in my bed Sinking deep into my pillow, till I gently lose my head I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away Oh this coffee just ain't working but I'll try another cup If my baby were here with me she'd know how to keep me up I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away I got all my windows open, got my head out in the wind I got J.C. on my dashboard, just in case I need a friend I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away My head is getting heavy, my eyes are killing me If I don't keep them open, I'll be looking up a tree I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away

I built my love a house from the bottom to the top Did it all with my hands and the wood I chopped Then the times got rough, we had to sell our home But we kept our love, and we're still going strong That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives We've had our ups and downs, we yell instead of talk Well, we both ran around in a state of shock Lonely and afraid, we looked inside our hearts Found our love survived shining through the dark That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives
