I found it listed under Waylon Jennings, and the real title is,"You asked me to".

Lyrics found online.


You Asked Me To
Waylon Jennings
Writers: Jennings & Shaver

Long ago and far away
In my old common labor shoes
I turned the world all which-a-way
Just because you asked me to.

Likened to no other feel
Summer 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
Let it - things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to.

Knowin' how much I love you
After all I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to.

CHORUS

I can't believe the second line of the Chorus. It must have a typo or something there.

re second line of chorus: if you've heard any other Billy joe Shaver songs, you'll know it's probably the way he wrote it.
