Can't Get Across

I like strong coffee I like strong tea

I like a strong-willed woman making love to me

I like a big ol' river and a lazy horse

Lord I cant get across

I, I, I

I just can't get across

I like my evenings warm and mellow

Waking up with my baby when the suns all yellow

I don't mind saying that I'm a lucky fella

I just can't get across

I, I, I

I just can't get across

Like a blindfold bat like a punchy mule

Like a drunken arrow like a babbling fool

Like a TV talker when his notes get lost

Lord I can't get across

I, I, I

I just can't get across

Well there's things I know and there's things I don't

Things I'll say and things I won't

I had a point to make but it done got lost

Lord I can't get across

I, I, I

I just can't get across

Well I don't like trouble I don't like worry

I don't like having to think in a hurry

I don't like flies in my applesauce

Lord I can't get across

I, I, I

I just can't get across
