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      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      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      I just ain't never made no superstar   But I will 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      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
