Valerie June - You Can't Be Told lyrics

Won't do right and he can't be told now He can't be told now, he can't be told Won't do right and he can't be told now He can't be told now, 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 live See how it ends Same destination Six 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 that 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 gotta break the law To be free from these chains I'll plead self defense When that judge call 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 now He can't be told now, he can't be told Won't do right and he can't be told now He can't be told now, he can't be told Won't do right and he can't be told now He can't be told now, he can't be told Won't do right and he can't be told now He can't be told now, he can't be told
