"Don't Bother Asking Me" lyrics - RAY WYLIE HUBBARD

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 damn thing on fire

[Chorus:]
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've been writin' 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

[Chorus:]
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 cryin' out loud
The sun just went behind the clouds
You can't tell me I don't care
It's just I'd rather cast a spell than say a prayer

[Chorus:]
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
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 don't know why I do what I do, I just do
I don't know why I do what I do, I just do
