Can I get a witness?

That's all right

Sometimes you want no trouble, sometimes you feel so down
Let this music relax you mind

Stand up and be counted, yeah
Can I get a witness?

Sometimes you need somebody, if you have somebody to love
Sometimes you ain't got nobody and you want somebody to love
All right

Then you don't want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see His face

You just want to see His face...

I Just Want to See His Face was a jam with Charlie and Mick Taylor. I don't know who's playing keyboards, maybe I am. I don't even know what album it was on. That was on Exile? I think it was just a trio originally, though other people might have been added eventually. It was a complete jam. I just made the song up there and then over the riff that Charlie and Mick were playing. That's how I remember it, anyway. I'd forgotten about that one.

I'm just playing the Doubting Thomas. I don't think it's a particularly rare idea.

Back to Exile On Main Street.
