I Can't Function

I'm workin' hard from mornin' to night

My shoulder bent into the wheel

I get home, you start to run me down

How do you think it makes me feel?

Your lashing tongue, it hurts my soul

I start to think and then I lose control

I'm not movin' like I know I should

But feelin' like I like to feel

And I spent my days just foolin' around

I can't function, honey, when you run me down

Oh, darlin' don't you run me down

I gotta make a little fortune

So I can bring it on home to you

You're only hurtin' yourself, my friend

Treatin' me the way you do

My hands are tied behind my back

I'm drinking dinner from a paper sack

Everyday is the fourth in July

And I'm nothin' but an April Fool

Well, I spent my days just cruising around

I can't function, honey, when you run me down

Oh, darlin' don't you run me down

I'm half a man with half a heart

I hear you laugnin' then I fall apart

I'd like to put it on the table

But I'm lost before I even start

You do me wrong and it's bringin' me down

My idle ways are the talk of the town

You make me feel like a do nothing clown

I can't function, honey, when you run me down

Oh, darlin' don't you run me down

Oh, darlin' don't you run me down

Yea, don't you run me down, darlin'

It's not polite in public, public

Down here in front of Abraham and his brother

I was a W now, I'm an L

Something wrong with my playin' drums

He was right
