Song Title: Don't ask me why Style: Blues
Verse One:
Got no newspapers to read. Got no cigarettes to smoke...
Got no T.V. To see... And I am flat broke...
Transitional lead piece ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Got no woman to love me. She put me out of my Home...
Got no life to lead... And I am all alone...
Instrumental-------------------------Lead -----------------------Long ----------------------
Hook
Got no job that I can go to... Ain't no money in my pocket...
Got no Guitar to play... I had to take it out and hock it...
Got no sunshine in my sky... Don't give a damn if I die... Don't ask me why...
Instrumental------------------------Transitional lead piece --------------------------------
Verse Two:
No alcohol in this Motel... Ain't no air conditioner in my window...
What day it is I can not tell... And I am sinking low...
Transitional lead Piece------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the hell is in my head? ... 'Bout to drive me insane...
Seems like a book I read... But I... can't recall the name...
Transitional Lead Piece ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hook
Got no job that I can go to... Ain't no money in my pocket...
Got no Guitar to play... I had to take it out and hock it...
Got no sunshine in my sky... Don't give a damn if I die... Don't ask me why...
Instrumental-------------------------Lead -----------------------Long ----------------------
Xtro
Don't ask me why...
Got the door open for the heat...
No shoes on my feet...
Don't...
Don't... Ask me why...
Why I Wrote It:
I pictured myself in a motel down south... In the high summer... The air conditioner is broken... I don't have a Guitar... And I've been thrown out by my woman...How much worse could things be?
Oh, no Alcohol and no smokes either. Not that I use those things anymore, but the old me can appreciate those dire straights... I think I just wrote the song again for my explanation!
I really like this song...
