Can't tell my future,

And I can't tell my past.

Can't tell my future,

And I can't tell my past.

Lord, it seems like every minute,

Sure gonna be my last.



The minutes seems like hours,

And hours seems like days.

The minutes seems like hours,

And hours seems like days.

And it seems like my woman,

Outta stop her lowdown ways.



The woman I love now,

She's five feet from the ground.

I said, the woman I love now,

Lordy, five feet from the ground.

And she's tailor made,

And ain't no hand me down.



Lord, and I got a woman now,

Lordy, she's lightnin when she,

Lightnin when she, lightnin smile.

I say, I got a woman,

Lord, and she's lightnin when she smiles.

Five feet and four inches,

And she's damn good lookin size.



Well, I know you see that picture,

Now, Lordy, up on your mother's,

Up on your mother's, mama's shelf.

I know you see that picture now,

Up on your mother's shelf.

Well, you know bout that,

I'm gettin tired of sleeping by myself.



And it's T for Texas,

Now, it's T for Tennessee.

And it's T for Texas,

Now, it's T for Tennessee.

Lord, bless that woman,

That put that thing on me.
