I Just Ain't Been Able

(album: Family Tradition - 1978)

I just ain't been able to write no song guess I have been gone for too long
I hate to but I got to get back to getting stoned
Cause I just ain't been able to write no song
I just ain't been able to sing no blues but Lord knows I sure oughta know just how to
Cause everybody's gone now Lord except me and you
But I just ain't been able to sing those blues
I just ain't been able to keep no wife but you know I tried hard a couple of times
They always said is it gonna be your music or me and I just ain't been able to agree
I just ain't never made no superstar but I will keep on playing this white guitar
I don't know how long or how far but I just love to play these honky tonk bars
I hate to but I got to get back to getting stoned
Cause I just ain't been able to write no song can't write no songs
