Billy Joe Shaver是什知名度的村歌手,他的一首《Willy the Wandering Gypsy and Me》被已是大牌歌手的Waylon Jennings到後,邀Shaver替他歌。Shaver到了村音之都Nashville ( ) 後,竟然了6月都未能到Waylon Jennings,然是Waylon邀的事忘了,之後,Shaver靠著一位DJ的忙,於在音室的口堵到了Waylon,Waylon想以100美元打Shaver,Shaver除了拒怒:要是Waylon不答他的歌,要好好的揍Waylon一 ( 上一架 )。Waylon最後妥,他之前的那首《Willy the……》,然後由Shaver再唱一首,若喜,由Shaver行下一首,否,就Shaver。果是Waylon定和Shaver合作出一。

Billy Joe Shaver
Waylon的新《Honky Tonk Heroes》於1973行,其中的歌曲除了一首《We Had It All》,其它全由Shaver自己或是和他人所合。此首《You Asked Me To》的作者是由Shaver和Waylon共同名,也是中成最好的一首,在村榜得第8名。另外值得一提的是,此被是Outlaw Country( 非法村 )的金石,是outlaw,其和法律一些都有,只是跳了村音( 含器,像使用吉他等 ),另注入了一些及其他元素,也因此「非法村」音,很可能跨越「村」及「流行」域,「一吃」的果然是唱片可多一些。像70年代Glen Campbell的《Rhinestone Cowboy》及Olivia Newton John的《Let Me Be There》,均通吃的典型歌曲。
了情,只要女生提出要求,多男生都是戮力以赴。但,在性的之中,多女生只是男生作「工具人」了。歌曲中的男生自知替女友「做牛做」被旁人取笑是「傻瓜」,但只要能得女方青就一切都值得了。而往往的下,亦如歌所述,倘方要求他「 ( 蛋 )」,他也是照的。何其悲哉!

王Elvis Presley於1973翻唱此曲,收在他1975的《Promised Land》中。
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
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
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'll never do)
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
