You Can’t Be Told

[Chorus]
Won’t do right and you can’t be told
No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told
Won’t do right and you can’t be told
No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told

[Verse 1]
Spent his whole life running
Trying to meet a mark
Seems like every moment
Put him back at the start
See how he livin'
See where he's bound
Same destination
Six feet in the ground

[Chorus]
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Got his eye on you, got his eye on you
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Everything you do, got his eye on you

[Verse 2]
Ain’t tryin' to be nobody
But my fine sweet self
Honey, if I give you everything
Then I'll have nothing left
If I've gotta break the law
To be free from your chains
I'll plead self-defense
When that judge calls my name

[Chorus]
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right to crow before daylight
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right to crow before daylight

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Won’t do right and you can’t be told
No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told
Won’t do right and you can’t be told
No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told
Won’t do right and you can’t be told
No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told
