JJ Cale - Santa Cruz Lyrics

Oo-wee how did i lose
talkin' about a night in santa cruz
oo-wee how did i lose
talkin' about a night in santa cruz
well i came to coast from l.a.
just to give a little music to boo me away
hey j.j. can you play cocaine
do after midnight it's all the same
oo-wee how did i lose
talkin' about a night in santa cruz
oo-wee how did i lose
i'll tell you about the night in santa cruz
well we didn't play long it booed too soon
i can't do right no matter what you do
a girl in the crowd, at the finale
shouted at me had i even turned
another man left 'cos he didn't stay long
i thought we had played his favorite song
hey you, pull that weight
a soon as it's cleaned up then i'll fade away
my friends and i hope you're glad to see
me and friends coming off the street
play, richard
i don't mean a man can't lose
just stay by the night in santa cruz
just stay by the night in santa cruz
i don't mean a man can't lose
