J. J. Cale These Blues

J. J. Cale These Blues 2004 To Tulsa and Back (album) A hundred miles is not too far Unless you have to walk Life, it seems, is like a dream Until you have to talk Don t wonder for a moment If you win or lose Just stop and stay, and watch the day And listen to these blues If it don t work for you, girl Put it off your mind If you drink anew from the well You find the bottom line A fancy woman told me John, you re bound to do this So I just stay and watch the day And sing these lonesome blues The blues is not a song you sing It is a way of life I ve hung around them bar rooms, girl Almost all my life The men, they all are gamblers They take all they can use So if I find no peace of mind I ll settle for these blues
