lyrics

Can't Carry You
Words & Music ©Michael Gregory Jackson

you tell me that you think that I have gone astray,
I tell you that you never knew me anyway,
you make it rough because you need so much,
but you're so far away, so out of touch,

I can't be there, be there no more, can't be there,

I've got so far to go can't carry you no more,
many a world to see sorrounding me,
can't carry you, can't carry you no more,
can't carry you no more,

you tell me that you think that I am turning evil,
I tell you that you don't know the meaning of the word,
you think I'm eveil just because I had to close my door,
but I just stay around here no more,

I can't be there, be there no more, can't be there,

I've got so far to go can't carry you no more,
many a world to see sorrounding me,
can't carry you, can't carry you no more,
can't carry you no more,

can't carry you, can't carry you, can't carry you,
can't carry you, can't carry you, can't carry you,
can't carry you, can't carry you no more,
no more, can't carry you no more

Michael Gregory Jackson Los Angeles, California

"MGJ first made waves…in New York's loft-jazz scene of the 1970s… alongside such major innovators as Oliver Lake, David Murray, and Wadada Leo Smith, he quietly laid the groundwork for much of what we take for granted in the contemporary jazz-guitar vocabulary." National Sawdust NY
