Can't You See (The Marshall Tucker Band song)

"Can't You See" is a song written by Toy Caldwell of the Marshall Tucker Band. The song was originally recorded by the band on their 1973 self-titled debut album and released as the album's first single. Record World called it "a strong rhythm item that continually builds and builds." A live version was released in 1977 and peaked at number 75 on the BillboardHot 100. Cover versions of "Can't You See" have charted for Waylon Jennings (in 1976) and the Zac Brown Band with Kid Rock (2010).

A live version, recorded live at the Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 31, 1974, is included as the final track on the band's 1975 album Searchin' for a Rainbow. Cash Box said of it that it showcased "their distinctive guitar and flute sounds."

The original recording is noted for its flute introduction and ending, both by Jerry Eubanks.
