Andrew Rinehart - I Don't Know Why Lyrics

You came around and you took the palm of my hand and you cried
You asked me how come I never come no around no more

I don't know why I don't know why no I don't know why

You said come on let's go down to the river so we can skip stones
I said alright but first you go and put on your white dress
So we left and went over to your Momma's place
There we found your Daddy drunk he was passed right out
And I saw he had a big old scorpion tattooed on his neck
And you said that's from when his first girlfriend left him for his best friend

And we walked down by the river side and we talked while we walked
I asked you will you take my hand and marry me
You looked away and you turned your back then you said okay

We laid down right underneath the old Sycamore tree
And we made love and you drew blood and you wiped some on my cheek
And you said how come you waited so long to ask me for my hand

Well I don't know why no I don't no why

Baby no one knows why
