Hats Off To DonDi And Here's To Marshall Tucker

Gonna take a freight train,
Down at the station,
Lord, I don't care where it goes.

Gonna climb a mountain, the highest mountain,
But gonna jump off nobody gonna know.

Can't you see, whoo Can't you see,
What that party, Lord, she been doing to me.
Can't you see, Can't you see,
Ah what that party, she been doing to me.

The repubs, my old party lord

they just dug us a great big hole,
I'm fallin in and I just gonna  die.

We had won it all, it's a mean ol' party, Lord,
Now we got to say good by.

Can't you see, Whoo, Can't you see,
What that party, Lord, she been doing to me.
Can't you see, Can't you see,
ah what that party, she been doing to me.

I'm gonna quit that ticket now, as far as I can see,
Ain't a never coming back.
Got me a south bound, all the way to
Georgia,
now,
Where segregation and hurtin the poor is still the rage.

Can't you see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party's been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party's been doing to me.

 

W promised me low taxes lord

They promised me my freedom

From rules and regulations

They promised me freedom to go to work

They promised me all the success

The riches would trickle down

But the rich got all the riches

And unemployment is all I found

 

Can't you see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.

 

Health care is over the roof

I'm on the hoof

There aint no car I can afford

The mortgage is all behind

And the bank aint being kind

Give that party all that I got

What I ever got was naught

 

Can't you see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.

 

Republicans were all the rage

Delay and Army and w

They were gonna turn a

Brand new page

Kill all the commie arab bastards

Turned out to be a canard

They just lined their own pockets

Left me without a back yard

 

Can't you see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.

 

We now have no further hope

Of stopping the socialists

No hope of stopping minorities

From takin this whole country

I am now in the minority

And I am employment free

Welfare is my only hope

I really have lost rationality

 

Gonna take a freight train,
Down at the station,
Lord, I don't care where it goes.

Gonna climb a mountain, the highest mountain,
But gonna jump off nobody gonna know.

Can't you see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.


I now have nowhere to go

The socialists now want all my money

I aint got none to give em

I'll just buy numbers for the lottery

I aint got no hopes and no dreams

The country I was promised

Is floatin down that old stream

The repubs promised so much

And they just ran out of steam

 

Can't you see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.
