Don’t Ask Why Lyrics by Los Lobos

The Town and The City

0

Tell me where
Where's the place that I once knew
Gone away
Disappeared into the blue

Asked the old gray dog
Left out in the cold
Asked the man next door
Left behind just 'cause he's old

They don't seem to know
Or just don't care to say
They just laughed out loud
And went along their way

Don't go, ask why
You hear no lie
Don't go, ask why
You hear no lie

Gone away
Disappeared into the blue

They just turned away
Wouldn't look me in the eye
Then I asked again
I swear to God, somebody cried

Don't go, ask why
You hear no lie
Don't go, ask why
You hear no lie

Gone away
Disappeared into the blue
