Lyrics

I Can't Make Your Way

[Verse 1]

I can't make your way

Silly men, they all get worried

Live their life so worthlessly

Troubled, bothered, flustered, hurried

They should take a look at me

Taxman, rentman, they all chase me

I ain't home when they come round

Got no money, live my life free

That's the best way, I have found

[Chorus]

I can't make your way

I can't make your way

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

I can't make your way

[Verse 2]

Is that me I hear you calling?

Do I hear you call my name?

It ain't me that will be falling

Ten years time, I'll be the same

[Chorus]

I can't make your way

I can't make your way

I can't make your way

I can't make your way

I can't make your way
