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
 Oh, he's done with the world and done with the girl
 And 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
 Been looking for answers in unsavory places
 On the highest of mountains and on 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
