Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Long ago and far away
In my ol' common labor shoes
I turned the world all which a way
Just because you asked me to
Like unto no other feel
Simple love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Just because you asked me to
[Chorus]
Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you asked me to
[Instrumental]
Knowing how much I love you
And after all that I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to
Lord, I hope you never do
[Chorus]
Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you asked me to
Written by: Billy Joe Shaver, Waylon Jennings
