I Just Ain’t Been Able Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just ain't been able to write no song
Guess I have been gone for too long
I hate to but I got to get back to gettin' stoned
'Cause I just ain't been able to write no song
[Verse 2]
I just ain't been able to sing no blues
But Lord knows I sure oughta know just how to
'Cause everybody's gone now, Lord, except me and you
But I just ain't been able to sing those blues
[Verse 3]
I just ain't been able to keep no wife
But you know I tried hard a couple of times
They always said "Is it gonna be your music or me?"
And I just ain't been able to agree
[Verse 4]
I just ain't never made no superstar
But I'll keep on playing this white guitar
I don't know how long or how far
But I just love to play these honky tonk bars
[Outro]
I hate to but I got to get back to gettin' stoned
'Cause I just ain't been able to write no song
Can't write no songs
I just ain't been able to write no song
Guess I have been gone for too long
I hate to but I got to get back to gettin' stoned
'Cause I just ain't been able to write no song
[Verse 2]
I just ain't been able to sing no blues
But Lord knows I sure oughta know just how to
'Cause everybody's gone now, Lord, except me and you
But I just ain't been able to sing those blues
[Verse 3]
I just ain't been able to keep no wife
But you know I tried hard a couple of times
They always said "Is it gonna be your music or me?"
And I just ain't been able to agree
[Verse 4]
I just ain't never made no superstar
But I'll keep on playing this white guitar
I don't know how long or how far
But I just love to play these honky tonk bars
[Outro]
I hate to but I got to get back to gettin' stoned
'Cause I just ain't been able to write no song
Can't write no songs
