Waylon Jennings – Can’t You See lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Gonna catch a freight train as far as I can Lord
I don’t care which way it goes
Gonna climb a mountain, the highest mountain Lord
Jump off ain’t nobody gonna know
[Chorus:]
Can’t you see, oh can’t you see
What that woman’s been doin’ to me
Can’t you see, can’t you see
What that woman’s been doin’ to me?
[Verse 2:]
Gonna buy a ticket go as far as I can Lord
I ain’t never coming back
Take me a southbound all the way down Lord
Till the train run out of track
[Chorus][x2]
