Yes we can just talk it out
Tell me what it's all about
Just don't speak in English
You can just let it flow
Get it right from your soul
But honey don't say words that I understand
Because I've had enough
Of that kind of stuff
For a long, long time.
You can tell me where to go
Tell what I don't know
But don't speak in English
And you can talk politics
Get your political fix
But don't say words that I understand
Because I've had enough
Of that kind of stuff
For a long, long time.
You can let the telephone ring
Don't pass me that thing
I am not a receiver.
You can play the music you choose
Western swing or Delta blues
Where the wasted words are few
And old John Prine will do
We'll just talk for a while.
You can let the telephone ring
Don't pass me that thing
I am not a receiver.
You can play the music you choose
Western swing or Delta blues
Where the wasted words are few
And old van Zandt will do
Maybe two
And we'll just talk for a while.
And when we talk it out
You tell me what it's all about
Just don't speak in English
And if you get it in your head
That you want to take me to bed
Just don't say words that I understand
Because I've had enough
Of that kind of stuff
For a long, long time.
Because I've had enough
Of that kind of stuff
For a long, long, long,
long time.
