Don't Ask Me Why

I choose to stay far away from the ones

That think money is money to share

Don't ask me why

I'll tell you no lies



Sonny don't come here no more

He don't drink from this well

He's done with the world and done with the girl

I don't ask him why

He tells me no lies



Those of us who are lost and low

I know how you feel

I know it's not right

But it's real



I don't ask for love

And I don't beg for money

I'm just asking for grace and forgiveness now honey

Don't ask me why

I'll tell you no lies



Looking for answers in unsavory places

On the highest of mountains

And the lowest of bases

And I still don't know why

I still don't know why



Those of us who are lost and low

We know how you feel

We know it's not right

But it's real

But it's real



I took the wind from the sea

I took the blood from an arrow

I took the wisdom of spring

I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned

Until time found its hand and called it an end

Me and time we go way back when I was a child

And I always knew why



And I knew my name

Oh I knew my road

And I stayed away from heavy loads

And still I'm low

Oh Lord am I low



Those of us who are lost and low

I know how you feel

I know it's not right

But it's real

But it's real
