Why Ask Why

I made a list

I'm all packed up

I'm ready to go

You're my last stop



I'll soon be far away

You can watch me go

Or you can change your mind

Come with me on the road



You're giving up a lot

In light of what we've got

We've won more than we've lost.



Why ask why?

Now's the time to change your mind.

Don't say no,

You know I have to go.



But if you stay here,

Give me love for now.

Give me one for the road,

Before I go.



But if you stay here,

Give me love for now.

Give me one for the road,

Before I go.



Come with me,

Now when we're young.

And when we go,

I'll be where you're from.



Why ask why?

Now's the time to change your mind.

Don't say no,

You know I have to go.



Why ask why?

Now's the time to change your mind.

Don't say no,

You know I have to go.



But if you stay here,

Give me love for now.

Give me one for the road,

Before I go.



But if you stay here,

Give me love for now.

Give me one for the road,

Before I go.
