Well I just can't make it
Well I just can't make it woman
Well I just can't make it
Well I just can't make it
Well I just can't make it, I can't make it anymore

Well I went home last night about the break of day
She said looky daddy, I'm going away
She said I'm gonna tell ya something you don't know
You done something last night you didn't do before

I can't make it, well I just can't make it
Well I can't make it, I can't make it anymore

Well my momma she told me, daddy too
Son you got something, don't know what ya going to do
Look a-here boy, I'm telling ya, ain't that a shame
The woman that you love is loving another man

You just can't make it, well you just can't make it son
No you can't make it anymore, you can't make it anymore

Alright baby that's right for you
Alright darling any way you do
Tell ya now baby what I'm gonna do
Find me somebody after I've gotten rid of you
I can't make it, well I just can't make it
No I can't make it, I can't make it anymore
