The Allman Brothers Band

Can you tell me, tell me, friend

Just exactly where I've been?

Is that so much to ask?

I'll pay you back no matter what the task

You seem really sure 'bout something I don't know

Take that load off

Looks like your chest's about to go

Your wasted words already been heard

Are you really God, yes or no?

Well, all day and half the night

You're walkin' 'round lookin' such a fright

Is it me or is it you?

I'd make a wager and I'd hope to lose

Time's gone, looks like Rome is 'bout to fall

Sure, it's gonna fall

Next time take the elevator, please don't crawl

Your wasted words, so absurd

Are you really Satan, yes or no?

Tell me now, babe?

Woo-hoo

I don't know about that

Well, I ain't no saint and you sure as hell ain't no savior

Every other Christmas I would practice good behavior

That was then, this is now

Don't ask me to be Mister Clean

'Cause baby, I don't know how

Ring my phone 'bout ten more times, we will see

Find that broke down line and let it be

Your wasted words will never be heard

Go on home, baby, and watch it on TV

Weekday soap-box specialty

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout now

By the way, this song's for you
