(… a pair of shades for this song. It's cool
… I really got sunglasses over there. Hey there's sunglasses there - there, take'm
Perfect
Good. Alright… [laughter]
I'm fond of saying that I got this song up of a blind man in the New York subway, but actually it's a lie
[laughter]
Mine is a long habit all
… you're right… )
[Instrumental]
Can't see nothing but trouble
Trouble on the dark road ahead
Keep stubbing my toe on the sunshine
Thinking that maybe I'm dead
Can't see nothing but sorrow
Sorrow on the rim of the night
Lord, you sure threw me a curveball
When you went, struck out my light
Anyone know where I'm going?
Anyone here really care?
If I walk myself out on a highway
Would that big Mack truck be there?
Big Mack truck
Big Mack truck
Bearing down on me
Big Mack truck
On a highway
Oh say, can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
[Instrumental]
(… Uh! Okey, uh!…)
Can't see nothing, but nothing
Can't tell my left from my right
Can't see nothing but that big Mack truck
Because, Lord, you have put out my light, my light
Lord, you have put out my light
Big Mack truck
Big Mack truck
Bearing down on me
Big Mack truck
On a highway
Oh say, can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
[Instrumental]
I said, big Mack truck
Big Mack truck
Bearing down on me
Big Mack truck
On a highway
Oh say, can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
[Instrumental]
(Oh, yeah!)
[Applause]
