Says he's been drinking some wine
he feels like his back's to the wall
He's hard to keep talking,
keeps saying he's tired of it all
any fool question will do
and I know what he's going through
so I'll do the talking for now
I hear my own voice and I'm talking,
but I don't know how I say
please mister can't go on,
you can go on one more day
If you still feel the same
then I'll still have the same thing to say
I say, please, mister, can't go on
You can go on one more day
Finally he tells me it's Ray
His woman can't take it no more
He's tried to quit drinkin'
but the least little thing and he's gone
Keep talkin', keep talkin',
Sayin' please mister can't go on,
you can go on one more day
is still twenty -four hours away
If you still feel the same,
then I'll still have the same thing to say
I say, please, Mr. Can't -Go -On,
you can go on one more day
I've drunk so much coffee
I know I won't sleep for a week
But I feel like we're winning
I'm sitting here letting Ray
He's laughed once or twice
Even laughed at a lame joke of mine
I guess that's a pretty good sign
I'll say, see, Mr. Can't -Go -On,
you can go on one more day
If you still feel the same,
and I'll still have the same thing to say
I say, see, Mr. Kent, go on,
you can go on one more day
I say, see, Mr. Kent, go on,
you can go on one more day
