Don't Ask Me Why (I'm Going To Texas)
Asleep At The Wheel · Other Songs - Asleep At The Wheel
Cause the reason I just don't know
But I've got a little gal down in Houston
And I've got lots of friends in San Antone
Don't ask me why I'm going to Texas
Why in all the world am I here
Cause I do love to hear those Texas fiddles
And dance and sing and drink my lonestar beer
From Austin up to Dallas, Amarillo to el paso
You can here bob wills bill mack and me on your radio
Don't ask me why I'm going to Texas
It's just the kind of placed where I should be
Yea there's a lot of room
Beneath that southern moon
Texas your a good ol' state by me
Uah
From Austin up to Dallas, Amarillo to El Paso
You can here bob wills bill mack and me on your radio
Don't ask me why I'm going to Texas
It's just the kind of placed where I should be
Say there's a lot of room
Beneath that Texas moon
Texas your a good ol' state by me
Texas your a good ol' state by me
Don't Ask Me Why (I'm Going To Texas)
