You Can't Rule Me (Memphis Minnie) Songtext
von Lucinda Williams

Yeah man, I got a right
To talk about what I see
Way too much is going wrong
It′s right in front of me

You can't rule me
You can′t rule me
You can't take my money and try to rule me too

Yeah, you might expect me to follow
But I ain't gonna fall in line
I tell you what, this much I know
The dotted line ain′t been signed

You can′t rule me
You can't rule me
You can′t take my soul and try to rule me too


You might beat me, you might cheat me
And try to make me change my mind
You might stick me, you might trick me
I'm gonna tell you one last time

You can′t rule me
You can't rule me
You can′t take my money and try to rule me too

You wanna go and tell me what's good for me
You wanna tell me what I'm payin′ for
Well, the game is fixed, it′s plain to see
I ain't playin′ no more

You can't rule me
You can′t rule me
You can't take my money and try to rule me too

You can′t rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my soul and try to rule me too, yeah
