J. J. Cale - Cajun Moon - lyrics

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
Dont 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
Dont trouble your mind whatever you do
cause he got me like he got you

J. J. Cale - Bringing It Back - lyrics

Saturday, past september
In the jailhouse, I remember I got caught with too much soul
Bringing it back from mexico
Bringing it back from mexico
Spanish lights and pretty faces
Trip you out to where the place is
Load you up and let you go
Bringing it back from mexico
Bringing it back from mexico
Across the border is where you get her
The wines good, there aint no better
I think Ill get me some to go
Bringing it back from mexico
Bringing it back from mexico

J. J. Cale - Call Me The Breeze - lyrics

They call me the breeze, I keep blowing down the road
They call me the breeze, I keep blowing down the road
I aint got me nobody, I aint carrying me no load
Aint no change in the weather, aint no change in me
Aint no change in the weather, aint no change in me
I aint hidin from nobody, aint nobody hidin from me
I got that green light, babe, I got to keep moving on
I got that green light, babe, I got to keep moving on
I might go out to california, might go down to georgia, might stay home

J. J. Cale - After Midnight - lyrics

After midnight, were gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, were gonna chug-a-lug and shout
Were gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about
After midnight, were gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, its gonna be peaches and cream
Were gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about
After midnight, were gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, were gonna let it all hang out

J. J. Cale - Boilin' Pot - lyrics

Now she dont know where she is, how sexy she can be
She dont realise what her eyes do to me
She keeps me hot, like a boilin pot
She whispers in my ear, lets do it right here
The ways of a wantin woman arent a mystery
The style she has will never fade as long as shes havin me
She keeps me hot, like a boilin pot
She whispers in my ear, lets do it right here
She keeps me hot, like a boilin pot
Burning right through the night
It dont take long for her to catch my eye
When she wants to suck me in, its easy as pie
She keeps me hot, like a boilin pot
Burning right through the night

J. J. Cale - Borrowed Time - lyrics

Well were living on borrowed time, lord
Can you give us another day
Yes were living on borrowed time, lord
Can you give us another day
Our chance of survival is slim, its what they say
Yes were living on borrowed time, lord
Can you give us another day
We gotta hold ourselves together, but there aint no guarantee
We gotta hold ourselves together, but there aint no guarantee
Our chance of survival is slim, many plea
We gotta hold ourselves together, but there aint no guarantee
Yes Ive seen many people down on their knees to pray
Yes Ive seen many people on their knees to pray
They say our chance of survival is slim, its what they say
Yes were living on borrowed time, lord
Can you give us another day

J. J. Cale - A Thing Going On - lyrics

Look here we got a thing going on
Never fear we got a thing going on
Aint nothing to it
Got to get down and do it
I tell you the truth
Aint jivin you
Lord, lord, we got a thing going on
Something in this place
Its on every face
Its catching fever
You just cant leave her
Look here we got a thing going on
Never fear we got a thing going on
What we gonna do
Were gonna roll through
Do it right, keep it light
Lord, lord, we got a thing going on
Look here we got a thing going on
Never fear we got a thing going on

J. J. Cale - Artificial Paradise - lyrics

Many loves in a lifetime, they seem to go astray
Many people come and go, they never seem to stay
Sometimes I kid myself, then I realise
Im just living in an artificial paradise
A hundred times, my hopes and dreams are blown into the air
A thousand times, it always seems no one is really there
Then I know Im fooling myself, Im not so wise
Im just living in an artificial paradise
Plastic state of mind, superficial clothes
Living in a vacuum, close to zero
Sometimes I kid myself, then I realise
Im just living in an artificial paradise

J. J. Cale - Brown Dirt - lyrics

Brown dirt, stickin to my fingers
Brown dirt, clingin to my feet
Brown dirt, mississippi bottom land
Pickin that cotton for the man down the street
Brown dirt, raisin his vegetables
Brown dirt, growin his grass
Brown dirt, walkin down the pathway
Pickin that cotton now I hope it is my last
Brown dirt, somebody told me, be the last place you lay
Brown dirt, cover my body
Ill soon be the cotton thats grown another day
Brown dirt wet, youre sinkin
Brown dirt dry, you dust
Brown dirt, Ive been thinkin
Well all come to you and we wont be the first
Brown dirt, somebody told me, be the last place you lay
Cover my body
Ill soon be the cotton thats grown another day
If a stick moves, its a snake
If a water is still, its a lake
If you harm yourself, you know it hurts
Final destination, brown dirt

J. J. Cale - Ain't Love Funny - lyrics

She brings me flowers from the waterwell
She keeps me laughing all day
We ride on a horse to the river and back
Aint love funny, funny its funny
Aint love funny that way
She calls in the evening to tell me shes back
She likes to talk on the phone
Would I come over and just rub her back
Aint love funny, funny its funny
Aint love funny you know
This womans touch, it is too much
Tingles right to the bone
Her hands so slight with a wink in her eyes
Keeps me comin back home
She gives everything expects no return
Shes always there when Im down
Love her a day, dont go away
Aint love funny, funny its funny
Funny when it comes around
We go on for hours about nothin at all
We never know what it means
Sometimes its easy, sometimes its not
Aint love funny, funny its funny
Funny its just what it seems
