(Billy Butler & The Chanters)
I just can't work no longer
I've got to see my woman right now
And we ain't getting any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
When clouds come, it's raining
The sun comes and shines
Lord, I ain't complaining
I've done wrong and
I'm serving my time
Now if there's any good in me
I'll bring it out so that you might see
That I'm just another lonely man
Who wants to stop my sin
Let all over begin
I just can't work no longer
I've got to see my woman right now
And we ain't getting any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow
This woman on the other side
She's my joy and all of my pride
Though I hurt her so constantly
My woman love can have faith in me
But how long can a good thing last
And I vow never to hurt in the past
Will she be there, waiting for me
My time is up and I'm finally free
I just can't work no longer
I've got to see my woman right now
And we ain't getting any younger
I've got to get to her love somehow

| daveesh (birthplace of the american revolution) | Posted: Dec 04, 2009 - 13:48 while i can definitely support the sentiment of this song, the song itself is unlistenable. |

| chuck_flacks (San Diego, CA) | Posted: Dec 04, 2009 - 13:47 He's one of the most exciting musicians I've ever had the fortune of seeing live. I have not heard much from him recently...anyone know what he's up to? |
