Crying


(J.J. Cale)
+
Every time I see you, all that you do
+
Crying, crying, crying
+
You've been shedding them tears for too many years
+
Crying, crying, crying
+
You've been lonely too long, something went wrong
+
Did he leave you again with them blues
+
Your sun don't shine, your day's no round
+
Crying, crying, crying
+
You've been lonely too long, something went wrong
+
Did he leave you again with them blues
+
Happy your day, I'm comin' your way
+
No more crying, crying, crying
+

I'll Be There (If You Ever Want Me)


There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
+
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
+
Never have seen a river that's too wide
+
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
+
Ain't no man big enough to stop me
+
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
+
There ain't no rope stout enough to bind me
+
Look for me, honey, you will find me
+
Any old time, get ready with your charm
+
I'll be there ready and a-waiting
+
There won't be any hesitating
+
I'll be there if you ever want me in your arms
+
Love me, if you're ever going to love me
+
Never have seen a road too rough to ride
+
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me
+
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
+
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
+

Starbound


(J.J. Cale)
+
When you and I are ready, no longer earthly-bound
+
We'll travel through the crystal night, starbound
+
Heaven holds a mystery, wrapped inside a sound
+
Through the eyes of time, starbound, you and I
+
A floating star is what we are
+
Suspended in space
+
Outward-bound it's the only home we've found
+
To save the human race
+
Speed is now their captain, kings that lost their crown
+
Motion is our master, starbound
+
Starbound
+
Starbound

Rock And Roll Records


(J.J. Cale)
+
I make rock 'n' roll records
+
I sell 'em for a dime
+
I make my living and feed my children
+
All in good time
+
The blues they go for a quarter
+
Guaranteed to satisfy
+
It's a real funky deal
+
Don't let it pass you by
+
If your evening sun don't shine, my friend
+
Tell you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna hammer out this rhythm
+
Till I get right next to you

The Old Man And Me


The old man he catches
+
the fish in the morning
+
he rides the river every day
+
i sit on the bank and
+
i holler when he passes
+
"hey, old man, are they biting today"
+
i wake up in the morning,
+
thinking 'bout my troubles
+
i go down to the water
+
and they pass away
+
and when the old man comes
+
a-floating down the river
+
"hey, old man, are they biting today"
+
now here we've got a thing
+
that keeps on rolling
+
it ain't heavy, don't take it that way
+
the old man and me,
+
we got a good thing going
+
he gets his fish and i sit all day
+
he gets his fish and i sit all day

Everlovin Woman


(J.J. Cale)
+
I've got a woman, I love her, lordy lord
+
She cooks my breakfast on Sunday, just like my ma
+
I hang my hat in her house, she don't charge a dime
+
Love me, trust me, never cuss me, you know she's mine
+
I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking in rhyme
+
I'm talking 'bout that everlovin' woman of mine
+
Oh, when I'm gone you know she don't hang around
+
And when I'm gone you know she don't follow me down
+
She keeps the night-light burning, lord, she waits for me
+
Taking care of business, lord, she's taking care of me
+
I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking in rhyme
+
I'm talking 'bout that everlovin' woman of mine
+
She'd have me do it if I'd do it at all
+
You know I love her, do I love her, lordy-lord
+
I hang my hat in her house, honey, she don't charge a dime
+
Taking care of business, she's taking care of business of mine
+
I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking in rhyme
+
I'm talking 'bout that everlovin' woman of mine

Cajun Moon


(J.J. Cale)
+
Cajun moon, where does your power lie
+
As you move across the southern sky
+
You took my babe way too soon
+
What have you done, Cajun moon
+
Someday babe, when you want your man
+
And you find him gone, just like the wind
+
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
+
'Cause Cajun moon took him from you
+
When daylight fades, the night comes on
+
You can hear the silence of this song
+
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
+
'Cause he got me like he got you

Id Like To Love You Baby


(J.J. Cale)
+
I'd like to love you baby and keep my other baby too
+
Put my arms around you, that's all I want to do
+
If the sun don't shine tomorrow, I know I've got you
+
I'd like to love you baby and keep my other baby too
+
Sometimes my baby's sleeping, sometimes she's not around
+
Sometimes I look to find her, I know she'll put me down
+
Oh, won't you let me hold you, let me lean on you
+
I'd like to love you baby and keep my other baby too
+
If the sun don't shine tomorrow, I know I've got you
+
I'd like to love you baby and keep my other baby too

Anyway The Wind Blows


(J.J. Cale)
+
Some like this and some like that
+
And some don't know where it's at
+
If you don't get loose, if you don't groove
+
Well, your motor won't make it and your motor won't move
+
If time don't tell you then don't ask me
+
I'm riding on a hurricane down to the sea
+
If you can't hear the music, turn it up loud
+
There's movement in the air and movement in the crowd
+
Bow-legged woman doing the boogaloo
+
She got a jive, she got a move
+
Turn around, do it again
+
Bow-legged woman, where you been
+
Fat Jack owns a honky-tonk downtown
+
You can catch a woman if you hang around
+
You can tear down the door, tear down the wall
+
Fat Jack he don't care at all
+
Easy come, easy go
+
Anyway the wind blows
+
Hey, drummer, drummer, can you give me that beat
+
Can you give me that beat, got to move my feet
+
Guitar player been all around the world
+
But he can't play a lick for looking at the girls
+
One two three four five six seven
+
Well, you'd better change your ways or you won't get to heaven
+
Eight nine ten, gonna stop at eleven
+
Eleven just lays around with seven
+
Some like this and some like that
+
And some don't know where it's at
+
If you don't get loose, if you don't groove
+
Well, your motor won't make it and your motor won't move
+
Easy come, easy go
+
Anyway the wind blows

Precious Memories


Hell, i travel on life's pathways

know not what the years may hold
+
hell, i've wandered, oh, grows fonder

precious memories flood my soul

+
how they ever flood my soul
+
in the stillness of the midnight

precious, sacred scenes unfold

I Got The Same Old Blues


(J.J. Cale)
+
Have you heard that rumour that's going around
+
You got it made, way across town
+
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
+
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
+
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
+
I stood at your doorway, but you was gone
+
I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
+
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
+
When you give me the business, you know I get a mind
+
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time
+
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
+
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
+
I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
+
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
+
Yeah, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end
+
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
+
