| J.J.
Cale - Sporting Life Blues
(feat.
Eric Clapton)
I'm tired of runnin' around,
Think I will marry and
settle down
This ole sportin' life,
It is a mean life, and
it's killin' me
I got a letter from my
home,
All of my schoolmates,
they're dead an'gone
It'll make you worry,
It'll make you wonder
'bout days to come
My mother used to talk
to me,
I was young and foolish,
Brownie could not see
Now, I have no mother,
my sisters
And my brothers, they
don't care for me
Mama used to fall on her
knees an' pray,
These are the words,
mother,she used to say
She would say: "Brownie,
wha-oh,
My son, please change
your way"
Now, I'm goin' to change
my way,
I'm growin' older each
and every day
When I was young and
foolish,
I was so easy, easy to
let ...
I was a gambler and a
cheater, too, now,
It's come my turn to
lose
This ole sportin' life,
Got the best hand, what
can I do?
There ain't but one thing
Brownie done wrong,
I liv'd that ole sportin'
life too long
Friends, it's no good,
please believe me,
Please leave it alone
J.J. Cale - Anyway The
Wind Blows
(feat. Eric Clapton)
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
Any way 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
Any way the wind blows
J.J. Cale - Don'T Cry
Sister
(feat. J.J. Cale)
Don't cry sister cry,
it'll be alright in the morning
Don't cry sister cry,
everything'll be just fine
Don't cry sister cry,
it'll be alright, i tell you no lie
Don't cry sister cry,
don't do it, don't do it
When old man trouble
knocks on your door
Don't give him no key,
he just wants more
He'll turn your life
to misery
Kick you down, just like
me
Don't cry sister cry,
it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry,
everything'll be just fine
Woke downhearted and
you feel so bad
Somebody wants something
of nothing you had
Love don't come too easy,
you see
A little bit of you and
a little bit of me
Don't cry sister cry,
it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry,
everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just
fine
Everything'll be just
fine
Don't cry sister cry,
don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry,
don't do it, don't do it |
