Can I Sit Next to You

Can I sit next to you?

Can you sit next to me?

Get the stars out your eyes

Come and bring them to me

I been down so long

I've been working on a plan, yeah

It's just that

I been down so long

I gotta get me mine when I can

Can I sit next to you?

Can you sit next to me?

I walked to Memphis alone

'Cause you'd do it for me

Oh, I know you would

All of the kicks from the sticks

All the kicks that we knew

I put all that aside, concentrate on you

All the kicks from the sticks

All the hits that we took

All the stitches we got

All our brains so cooked

Oh oh oh

Some day I'm gonna get where you want 'em

I been down so long

Been down but now I gotta get lifted up

I'm gonna walk a tightrope

Gonna get kicks every night

No one's holding me back

No one's changing my mind, oh

Gonna walk a tightrope

Gonna get kicks every night

No one's holding me back

No one's changing my mind

Get the stars out your eyes

Come and sit next to me

I'm the Tennessee skies

Down on South Front Street

Oh oh oh

I've been working on a plan, yeah

I been down so long

Been down but now I gotta get lifted up
