ALLMAN BROTHERS - WASTED WORDS

Can you tell me, tell me, friend, just exactly where I've been
Is that so much to ask? I'll pay you back no matter what the task
You seem really sure 'bout something I don't know,
take that load off, looks like chest's about to go
Your wasted words already been heard, are you really God, yes or no?

Well, all day and half the night you're walkin' round lookin' such a fright
Is it me or is it you? I'd make a wager and I'd hope you lose
time's gone, looks like Rome is 'bout to fall,
next time take the elevator, please don't crawl
Your wasted words so absurd, are you really Satan, yes or no?

Well, I ain't no saint and you sure as hell ain't no savior,
every other Christman I would practice good behavior
That was then, this is now, don't ask me to be mister clean,
'cause baby, I don't know how
Ring my phone 'bout ten more times, we will see,
find that broke down line and let it be
Your wasted words wiill never be heard, go on home baby and watch it on TV

Weekday soap-box speciality, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout now,
by the way, this song's for you, sincerely, me
