JJ Cale - City Girls Lyrics






City girls they're all right
They just want you for the night
But when the morning comes at dawn
City girls they all gone

You know the daylight can be sad
When you feel that you've been had
Only night time brings the price
City girl she thinks it's right

What's a poor boy going to do
If he wants a girl like you
Can't afford no diamond rings
Or all those other fancy things

Only one thing I can give
A song down where you live
I'll sing to you hear the sound
City girl please stay around

  18. M.... R....

    Loved JJ since my uncle lent me a CD when I was studying at uni!

  19. f.... p....

    Ever wondered who was a HUGE inspiration on Mark Knopfler? Listen to this.

    f.... p....

    eric clapton, i think

    f.... p....

    J.J. cale is the master...of clapton and M.Knopfler....they say it themselves...

  20. A.... F....

    So many hits along his career, but CITY GIRLS is my favorite one. These guitar solos really steal the spotlight. Thanks Pecvillian.

    A.... F....

  24. A.... D....

    One of my favorites....RIP JJ......YOU are missed!!

  25. A.... T....

    Saw JJ at small venue when I was in college.  While packing up (Christine was at bar bumming a smoke from friend), my friend asked JJ why he was packing his own equipment stating "You're a god".  JJ said back "I'm no god, just doing my job."

  26. N.... P....

    This song is pure sugar to my ear.

  27. B.... ....

    Great song. I really do hear some of Knopfler's twang here. It is before everything I can manage to compare it to. So in my opinion, many people cloned or stole from this unique artist.

    B.... ....

    @ItZz CoRp3z
    Seeing as J J was playing since late 50s I think its a big assumption to say that Clapton got him his break. All clapton did was get some of his music (a couple of tunes) pop-rock exposure to kick off the 70s. Pretty late in the game to claim that he gave him exposure after over a decade of being an active artist, preceeding Clapton.

    B.... ....

    That is a statement from Cale. He might have been playing but he was still a nobody ... do a little research for your self.

    B.... ....

    @ItZz CoRp3z
    A nobody in what regard? See, I see Clapton as the real nobody. No need to research.

    B.... ....

    +Billbill80s He was a nobody in the sense he was playing small venues and selling shoes for a living. Clapton heard him fell in love with his stuff straight off and got him into the big time so he became a global artist. A very humble global artist at that who shunned the mega stardom stuff.
    I've been listening to and enjoying J J very much for nearly forty years ... don't be fooled by the account I'm signed in on it's my twelve year old grandsons who's been on my puter today and I've only just realised.
    Theres plenty of writings out there for you to check. I aint here to prove anything or argue so best of luck with your research if you bother to do any. Goodbye.

    B.... ....

    +Billbill80s Clapton played loads with him and even had a hit with his cocaine song ... they were big buddies. Never really been a Clapton fan myself.

  28. A.... Z....

    A timeless song, that could survice in any hitparade, any austrian ski-resort as well as in every damn truck-stop. It has the irresitable JJ groove (with a light swing). It reminds me of the fact, that he was working as a dancehall musician for years before starting his country-rock career. We lost a timeless musician here!

  29. A.... D....

    My favorite of his songs...reminds me of a sweet love and great times...and a great friend who introduced me to JJ Cale. Thanks CC.

  30. G.... S....

    RIP - he was really a legend!!!

  31. L.... �....

    R.I.P. legend

  32. G.... R....

    Rest in peace JJ,

    Your timeless music will live on my friend...

  33. o.... ....

    The Ultimate Blues Artiste!

  34. v.... ....

    I was shocked how underrated and not well known JJ Cale is in north America when I moved here 1985.

  35. c.... ....

    Masterpiece!

  36. p.... ....

    That's the truth.

  37. M.... T....

    Just like ol` Waylon said "The Sweetest Cowboy Blues" . Very good , been listening to him since I was a kid and yes he is so underated, deserves much more.

    M.... T....

    thanks a lot Pecvillan for posting.😍🙆💕💞 this a wonderful💜💗

  38. D.... H....

    well i'm from holland, and i can tell you he is pretty well known over here:) its just a fact that all musicians like jj are underated nowadays

  39. o.... ....

    @pecvillian I've unable to find one of my favorites from Shades--a song called Love Has Been Gone.Any suggestions?

  40. W.... S....

    J J Cale,este é o cara!Sossegadinho,tipo fazendeiro mesmo,ou melhor,dono de um pequeno sítio,onde ele vive a vida com serenidade,fazendo algumas das mais belas canções que conhecemos.JJ Cale.

  41. p.... ....

    @charlotte946 Seems to me he is more popular in Europe as most of the comments on my Cale vdeos come Europeans

  42. p.... p....

    Amazing! Here's J.J. from the album released in 1982 resurrecting DISCO that had died 6 years before. Quite an unlikely number for J.J. too.

  43. p.... ....

    @mkeenan36 yes it is

  44. p.... ....

    @MKviganj I agree this is a great song, Thanks for the comment.

  45. p.... ....

    @dddewan Me too. It's a good song.

  46. D.... D....

    Love this JJ song...

  47. p.... ....

    I agree. Grasshopper was a very good album

  48. p.... ....

    Hey Eddie glad you like it. Thanks for the comment.
