JJ Cale - These Blues Lyrics
A hundred miles is not too far
Unless you have to walk
Life, it seems, is like a dream
Until you have to talk
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
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

A hundred miles is not too far

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

JJ Cale - These Blues
GREAT !!!!!!
electric violin ?
+MenwithHill That's Shelby Eicher playing Fiddle. (not electric) ;)
wonderful!
Tight comment Terry. Lest not forget what Neil Young said: Two greatest guitarists of all time. Cale and Hendrix.
Gone but not forgotten. These blues goes on
JJ is the best!
2 people are colour blind
It's very hard for me to imagine how music could get any better than this. This is fantastic! One of the best guitar players and songwriters in the world.
I really love love love this song and the blues... blues remind me the age I was in love and also the fantastic boy I was with... wwwwow!!! years and years and years ago....

@vaderka I totaly agree with these words!!!!!
@zo0z3172010 I know right?! I totally agree!
@Erulin68 what about scooter did jj influence them ? jj is class btw
@Tbonetardis Knopfler was inspired by Chett Atkins. Still, don't think any musician hasn't been influenced by JJ Cale in some form or other
I always felt that dire straits is an extension to cale's music. JJ Cale and Atkins are 2 major influences on Knopfler
this is so nice indeed...
one of my joy;s
@bassdrumrules lol
well eric for sure owe him a carrier!
If you listen real close, you can hear Eric and Mark listening.
Johnny is the man !
GREAT JJ !
