You Can’t Do That
©Jerry Axson

Me and Mon took the Cyclone out - it was a Friday night,
had us a few beers to drink - yeah, we were feeling alright,
Took her down El Pacino road - man we gave her the gas!
There’s no looking back –
You can’t do that...
nobody’s keeping track –
You can’t do that...
Hey girl you’re a real fine looker,
why don’t you come over here...

Because I’m too dumb to know,
I let my feelings show,
I got nowhere to go tonight...

We always end up parked downtown in the Foodstore customer lot,
and sure enough everybody we know - is in their usual spot,
We’re all waiting for something to happen - I hope it happens to me!
Because I can’t get free –
You can’t do that...
you’d think eventually –
You can’t do that...
Hey girl you’re a real fine looker,
why don’t you come over here...

Because I’m too dumb to know,
I let my feelings show,
I got nowhere to go tonight...

I’m not sleeping so good...
not like the way that I should...
I lay awake in my bed...
all kinds of thoughts running through my head...
I hate laying alone...
You can’t do that...
I hate waiting alone...
You can’t do that...
I hate staying alone...
You can’t do that...
I hate being alone...
You can’t do that...

We’re all waiting for something to happen - I hope it happens to me!
Well I’m just talking trash –
You can’t do that...
Because I want you bad –
You can’t do that...

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
