Now, every time that I come home nobody wants to let me be.
Seems that all the friends I've got just got to come interrogate me.
Well, I appreciate your feelings, and I don't want to pass you by,
But I don't ask you about your business. Don't ask me about mine.

Well, it's true I love the money, and I love my brand new car.
I like drinkin' the best of whiskey and playin' in a honky-tonk bar.
But when I come off the road, well I just got to have my time,
Cause I've got to find a break in this action, else I'm gonna lose my mind.

So don't ask me no questions
And I won't tell you no lies.
don't ask me about my business,
And I won't tell you goodbye.

Well, "What's your favorite color?" and "Do you dig the brothers?" is driving me up the wall,
And every time I think that I can sleep, some fool has got to call.
Well, don't you think that when I come home I just want a little piece of mind?
If you want to talk about this business, buddy, you're just wasting time.

So don't ask me no questions
And I won't tell you no lies.
don't ask me about my business,
And I won't tell you goodbye.
I said don't ask no stupid questions
And I won't send you away.
If you want to talk fishin',
Well I guess that'll be OK.
