You 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 Spent his whole life running Trying to meet a mark Seems like every moment Put him back at the start See how he livin' 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 tryin' 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
