Dwight Yoakam - Sorry You Asked? Lyrics






You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
You'll be sorry you ever asked why.

We started having problems in August last year
Some things have been kind of rough for quite a while
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
Yeah but mister that thoughts wrong by a long long mile

You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
You'll be sorry you ever asked why.

I might should have seen we were drifting apart
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
And I had always heard you were the last one to know
Hey well buddy I was last by a long long while

You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why.

Ok we both have a tendency to over-react
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
There was certain third parties
Well her sister for one
Helped bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt

Aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
Why she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why

Did I tell you how she tried to have me locked out of the house
Had to go hire a lawyer and all
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
I could hear them tell her what to say every time I'd call

[fade out]
You'll you sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why

    Dwight Yoakam is one of the best country singer he have his own style , great lyrics in his songs, excellent musicians working with him . This guy should be in the Hall of fame of country music now , it's a shame.

    Dwight sang the whole song the actor was just acting and the girl was Wynonna Judd he use to date her.

  21. M.... F....

    Damn..I never knew Dwight played trumpet lol

  22. g.... ....

    Dwight should do a rendition of Harry Dean Stanton's/Ry cooders-'Across the Borderline'.. But given today's Pres. Trumps separists policies.. Dwights mgr. Would say 'no way,,, not even,, not now!'...besides Dwight doesn't sing Spanish either.. Only Johnny Rodriguez could sing it.

  23. J.... J....

    Pure Marty Robbins

  50. d.... b....

    I like Dwight Y, but this song is he exception. 3 minues on a skate place ...

  51. R.... R....

    Not sure that this was glitchy, my ISP was acting up, or what, but the intro was horrible. Great song when they FINALLY got to it!

  52. R.... T....

    Was a Dwight fan from the beginning and he stood his ground against the Country Music Machine and did his own thing with the Bakersfield Sound of Buck Owens and he was grossly underrated and plays real Rock-A-Billy the way we like it. This video got lost in the shuffle and thanks so much for putting it on so we can enjoy it again and again!

  53. T.... M....

    Creo que es mejor cantante de este grandioso estilo de musica...podre escuchar rock pero siempre volveré al country y siempre con dwight

  70. D.... H....

    Easily the best country western song ever conceived. The lyrics ring in such compelling fashion and the horns bring it all home. Appreciate HDS providing the dramatic imagery. Thanks kindly DY and especially Buck.

  71. J.... B....

    this man is incredibly attractive and talented.

    J.... B....

    Jackie Barnum have you seen him without the hat?

    Dear Dwight, I am unable to travel to see You in Concert. Traveling is too expensive. I can view your concerts here on Youtube. I am your newest Fan

  74. m.... ....

    anyone know what the song is called during the car scene?

    m.... ....

    Never Hold You off the Gone Album

  75. F.... M....

    The video just doesn't hold. If modern art is art for the sake of art, then this is cornyness for the sake of corn. Great song, though!

    F.... M....

    Frank Montoya you must not get Harry Dean Stanton.

  76. S.... C....

    this dwight yok e mon needs hair club for men.

    Bonnie Friend

  81. R.... J....

    I've always wondered if this song was a cover by Dwight Yoakam or if he wrote this song. I like the end of the video where you can hear Harry Deen sing it because it sounds like a country song from the 50's or 60's.
