You Can't Be Told

(album: Pushin' Against A Stone - 2013)

Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, He can't be told
No, He can't be told
Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, He can't be told
No, He can't be told

Spent his whole life running
Trying to meet a mark
Seems like every moment
Put him back at the start
See how he living
See where he's bound
Same destination
6 feet in the ground

Eagle bird got his eye on you
Got his eye on you
Got his eye on you
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Everything you do
Got his eye on you

Ain't trying to be nobody
But my fine sweet self
Honey, if I give you everything
Then, I'll have nothing left
If I've gotta break the law
To be free from your chains
I'll plead self-defense
When that judge calls my name

Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right
To crow before daylight
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right
To crow before daylight

Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, He can't be told
No, He can't be told
Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, He can't be told
No, He can't be told

Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, He can't be told
No, He can't be told
