Big Mack Truck (1974 Live Version) Lyrics by David Carradine

1975

[Almost unintelligible dialogue between David Carradine and a Man]
(… from my hometown… 'cause they are all wild birds… What is this here?
Owl
Owl
Hoot, hoot, hoot
Well, that's what I mean… Yeah, right. It's alive.)
[Tuning guitar]
(… Well I had ordered not to do this shit but I'm goin' do it anyhow…
Is that what you said? … )
[David Carradine, Barbara Hershey, David Carradine & Barbara Hershey]
[Instrumental]
(Keep going)
(Hollywood magic!)
(I see nothing but nothing!)
[Humming]
This ain't the blues
As any fool
Can plainly see
[Humming]
This ain't the blues
It's just something
Straight from me
Can't see nothing but trouble
[Humming]
Trouble on the dark road ahead
When I open my eyes I see double
Thinking, thinking, I'm dead
(Can that be?
Any be walkin' around
Talkin'
Lookin' and tastin'
Could be dead?)
This ain't the blues
But it'll get you there
Just as fast
That get you there
But they'rе not meant to last
[Humming]
Can't see nothing but sorrow
Sorrow on the rim of the night
Lord, you surе threw me a curveball
When you went, struck out my light
Does anyone know where I'm going?
Does anyone here really care?
If I walk myself out on a highway
Would that big Mack truck be there?
Big Mack truck
Big Mack truck
(It's not my car)
Big Mack truck
Bearing down on this
It's born down on me
Big Mack truck
On a highway
Oh say, can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
(I made it. I don't own it.)
[Instrumental]
Can't see nothing, but nothing
Can't tell my left from my right
Can't see nothing but that big Mack truck
Because, Lord, you have put out my light, my light
Lord, you have put out my light
Big Mack truck
Big Mack truck
Bearing down on me
Big Mack truck
On a highway
Oh say, can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
I go, can't see nothing but trouble
Trouble all night long
Is that better I go outside
Until I finish this song?
Yeah, I see nothing but trouble
Can't tell the birds from the bees
When I open my eyes I see double
Can't tell the forest from the trees
I can't tell wrong from right
Can't tell day from night!
I got it all howl'd!
I'm so, ah, an upstart, I'm just too wild!
I'd like to sing all night
I gotta have all written down
In black and white!
Big Mack truck
Big Mack truck
Bearing down on me
Big Mack truck
On a highway
Oh say, can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
[Instrumental]
[Applause]
(Make it bluey. That comes around.)
