"Can't You See" is a song written by Toy Caldwell of the Marshall Tucker Band, first recorded by the band on their 1973 self-titled debut album and released as its first single. Here is my cover of it with the Yazoo Ramblers, which I posted to the channel on June 29, 2026.
It is known for the flute at the start and end, played by Jerry Eubanks. Waylon Jennings charted with it in 1976, and the Zac Brown Band with Kid Rock did in 2010.
