Don't you ask me
When you don't want to know
How it's been on the darker end
Of the debts I've come to owe.
Don't you remember
Swimming in the old red creek?
Me and you at twenty two
And you kiss me on the cheek.
You said all things are passing
But maybe not die today.
And all that truly love you
Been travelling with you always.
Well I hope you're right.
I won't ask you I'm afraid to know
How long it's been since you had a friend
Who laid you down to know.
And I remember drinking in the old train lot.
A horn would blare and it sat in the air
And you'd count your love me nots.
You said all things are passing
But maybe not die today.
And all that truly love you
Been travelling with you always.
Well I hope you're right.
Cuz I'm a low class no culture
Sleeping possum who killed a vulture.
Don't come down looking for a fool in me.
I'm not mad or disappointed
At what you need I got what I wanted.
Don't get up looking for your man in me.
♪
Don't you ask me when you already know.
We're here again cuz the will it been
So smile and let it roll.
I remember all laughing for an old dead friend
There ain't no bliss when there's nothing to lose
So smile and let it in.
No me and you or nothing to prove
So smile and take my hand.
